Livermore cannot enact breed-specific bans — California Food & Ag Code §31683 preempts all local BSL. Dangerous dog designations are behavior-based only.
California Food & Agricultural Code §31683 explicitly preempts all local breed-specific legislation. Livermore cannot ban pit bulls, Rottweilers, or any other breed. Cities may only enact breed-neutral dangerous dog ordinances based on documented behavior. CA Health & Safety Code §122331 permits narrow breed-specific mandatory spay/neuter programs but Livermore has not adopted one. HOAs and rental properties may still impose breed restrictions privately.
