Subject: Cranston, Rhode Island

Here is part of what is being proposed. A vicious dog ordinance is also being proposed which will be posted when it is received. So this is part 1. They are meeting Monday, February 25 for the third time on this issue. Let's help them out!

Section 4: Article 4 is hereby amended by adding the following: Section 4-9.1 "Registration of Certain breeds of dogs required."

A. Any person having the custody, ownership or control of any American pit bull dog, pit bull terrier dog or Staffordshire terrier dog must register said dog with the City on a form to be provided by the City. Said form shall require the following information: name, address and telephone number of the dog's owner; the address where said dog is harbored, if different from the owner's address; dog's sex, color, rabies certificate and tag number and other distinguishing characteristics of the dog, as well as proof of liability insurance not less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for such registration. The fee for registration shall be twenty dollars ($20.00)

B. Registration of vicious dogs. No dogs shall be licensed for any licensing.

(1) period commencing after December 2001, unless the owner or keeper of such vicious dog shall meet the following requirements:

(2)The owner or keeper shall present to the City Clerk proof that the owner or keeper has procured liability insurance in the amount of at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) covering any damage or injury which may be caused by such vicious dog during the twelve month period for which licensing is sought, which policy shall contain a provision requiring the City to be named as additional insured for the sole purpose of the City Clerk to be notified by the insurance company of any cancellation, termination or expiration of the liability insurance policy.

(3) The owner or keeper shall have the licensing number assigned to such vicious dog, or such other identification number as the City Clerk shall determine, tattooed upon such
vicious dog. For the purposes of this section, "tattoo" shall be defined as any permanent, acceptable method of tattooing.

(4) The owner or keeper shall display a sign on his or her premises warning that there is a vicious dog on the premises. Said sign shall be visible and capable of being read from the public highway.

(5) The owner or keeper shall sign a statement attesting that:

(a) The owner or keeper shall maintain and not voluntarily cancel the liability insurance required by this section during the twelve month period for which licensing is sought, unless the owner or keeper shall cease to own or keep the vicious dog prior to expiration of such license.
