BILL NUMBER:S3440A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to dogs engaged in hunting or training PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to clarify the relationship between the law regulating dogs that are legally hunting and local laws regulating dogs "running at large."
