North Royalton, OH, is working on repealing their BSL. Their city law mirrored the old Ohio state law by automatically categorizing “pit bulls” as vicious dogs. The city has rewritten their dog ordinances to more closely resemble the new, breed-neutral state law.
You can read the new proposed dog ordinance here: http://www.northroyalton.org/Council/Legislation/2012%20Ordinances/12-087%20Vicious%20dogs%20EXHIBIT%20A%20PENDING.pdf
This ordinance has had a second reading and will next be discussed by the Safety Committee on June 5.
Please show the council your support for BSL repeal:
