Illinois state law currently prohibits municipalities from passing breed-specific laws. HB 1080 would undo this prohibition and permit any municipality to declare dogs dangerous based on breed.

HB 1080 was referred to the House Rules Committee on February 3, 2011 and moved to the Agriculture & Conservation Committee on February 8, 2011.  If passed townships can enforce BSL laws, fines for owning a dog, have you put your dog down or make you have a  muzzle on your dog.

BSL is horrible and completely ineffective too!!!  You can not say that only one breed is aggressive and should be banned with bad owners any breed can become aggressive! Please stop HB 1080 from going through.  Be the voice for every pit, pit mix, am-staff, pit "looking" dog, or pit lover you know.
