NY Agriculture & Markets Law 107 prohibits breed-specific legislation by municipalities. Dangerous dogs in Oneida County are handled under AG&M 123 based on individual behavior. No breed bans in Utica, Rome, or any Oneida County town.
New York Agriculture & Markets Law Section 107(5) preempts all local breed-specific legislation, meaning Utica, Rome, Sherrill, and every Oneida County town are legally prohibited from banning pit bulls, rottweilers, or any other breed. Dangerous dog determinations follow AG&M Section 123, requiring a judicial hearing based on actual behavior and bite history, not breed. Oneida County SPCA (315-738-4357) and local animal control officers investigate bite incidents. Landlords and insurance companies may still restrict breeds privately. Dangerous dog orders can require muzzling, secure confinement, microchipping, and liability insurance up to $100,000.
Violating a dangerous dog order under AG&M 123 carries fines up to $1,500 and possible seizure or euthanasia of the dog for severe attacks.
