Full title

Encouraging municipalities to adopt and enforce effective protections against dog bites, and for other purposes.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

Calls for: (1) each community to address the issues of dog bites and dangerous dogs; and (2) municipalities to consider, and enact model programs and legislation addressing, the factors contributing to a dog's temperament, including whether a dog is continuously chained and whether a male dog has been neutered.
