Duluth cannot enact breed-specific bans. Georgia O.C.G.A. §4-8-30 preempts breed-specific legislation statewide. Dangerous dogs regulated by behavior, not breed.
O.C.G.A. §4-8-30 explicitly prohibits Georgia municipalities from adopting breed-specific regulations. Duluth and Gwinnett County regulate dogs based on individual behavior under the Responsible Dog Ownership Law (O.C.G.A. §4-8-20+). A dog may be classified as 'dangerous' or 'vicious' following an incident, triggering registration, secure enclosure, liability insurance, and signage requirements.
Violations of dangerous dog requirements: misdemeanor; high-and-aggravated if attack causes serious injury. Fines up to $15,000 and potential imprisonment per O.C.G.A. §4-8-28.
