New York Agriculture and Markets Law 107 preempts breed-specific legislation. Nassau County and its municipalities cannot ban dogs by breed; dangerous-dog determinations are behavior-based under NY Ag and Markets 123.
NY Ag and Markets 107(5) prohibits any municipality from enacting breed-specific legislation. Nassau County, all 3 towns, both cities, and all 64 villages must use the statutory dangerous-dog process under 123. After a judicial dangerous-dog finding, courts can order restraints including muzzling, secure enclosure, spay/neuter, microchipping, and liability insurance up to 100,000 dollars.
Violating a dangerous-dog court order is a misdemeanor under NY Ag and Markets 123. Owner may be liable for medical costs and restitution.
