Maryland Senate Panel Advances Pit Bull Bill

A Maryland Senate panel passed a bill to address a Maryland court ruling that determined pit bulls are “inherently dangerous.”

The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee passed the bill on Thursday, the first day of a special session in Annapolis.

The bill now goes to the full Senate for consideration.

The Maryland Court of Appeals ruling in April singled out pit bulls as a dangerous breed, making owners liable for first bites.

The bill makes owners of all dogs liable for bites.
