HB1141 prohibits an owner from tethering a dog outside between the hours of 10 pm to 6 am and also prohibits tethering for more than 3 hours. It also prohibits tethering outside during extreme weather conditions such as:

The outdoor temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit;

A heat advisory has been issued by a local or state authority of jurisdiction

A hurricane, tropical storm or tornado watch or warning has been issued for the area by the National Weather Service OR any combination of these factors.

Hopefully I will be able to get this enforced for the people who live next door to me. We have seen thier dogs in all weather conditions, chained out on a 6 foot chain, with an uninsulated dog house with out blankets or hay. I will so be providing our local law enforcement with a copy of the full bill, which is much more detailed than the readers digest version that I posted.
