City commissioners in Hays, Kan., could vote this week on strict new rules for pit bull owners.
Pit bulls would not be banned in the northwest Kansas community. But a proposed ordinance would declare the dogs to be “dangerous” – a designation that would trigger several requirements.
Owners would have to keep any pit bulls confined securely, obtain insurance and provide identification microchips. They would also have to pay a registration fee of $50 a year, and keep the dogs muzzled and leashed if they’re out in public.
The commission is expected to take up the proposal at its meeting Thursday night.
