Senate Bill 746, aimed at strengthening Pennsylvania’s Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement (BDLE) has passed. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Elder Vogel, facilitates the online sale of dog licenses in all counties, increases penalties for violations of Pennsylvania’s Dog Law, and raises dog license and kennel inspection fees. The bill aims to stabilize the BDLE, which has been facing financial challenges and staffing shortages. It also introduces tiered license fees, with discounts for senior citizens, and imposes fines for unlicensed dogs. The bill now awaits the governor’s signature.
UPDATE: OCTOBER 24, 2023 –
