Ohio’s new law on pit bulls

About Ohio’s new law
Under Ohio Sub. HB 14 (effective May 22) pit bulls will no longer be considered vicious dogs solely on their breed and the law eliminates the mandatory liability insurance requirement for dog owners. Dogs that had been deemed vicious under existing law because of actions, not breed, will still be required to maintain liability insurance coverage of at least $100,000. The new law also clarifies what constitutes a "nuisance dog" and alters the definitions for those considered "dangerous" and "vicious," along with general confinement requirements on and off-premises.
