Honolulu has no breed-specific legislation; ROH Chapter 7 Article 7 regulates individual dogs adjudicated dangerous, imposing muzzle, six-foot leash, and adult-handler controls rather than banning specific breeds such as pit bulls.
Honolulu does not impose breed-specific legislation. The city regulates dog behavior through the dangerous-dog framework at ROH Chapter 7, Article 7. ROH 7-7.2 (Prohibited acts, Conditions on owner, Penalties) defines negligent failure to control a dangerous dog and imposes muzzle, six-foot leash, and adult-handler conditions on any dog formally declared dangerous. Hawaii also has no statewide breed ban, so there is no ROH chapter or section banning specific breeds like pit bulls. Enforcement focuses on individual dog conduct and owner responsibility rather than breed identification.
Failing to meet dangerous-dog conditions such as muzzling and leash limits can lead to citations, impoundment, and misdemeanor exposure under ROH 7-7.2.
