Connecticut HB05393 modifies dog licensing requirements, allowing online licenses and extending the license period to every three years.

Connecticut HB05393 introduces changes to dog licensing procedures, allowing the Department of Agriculture to issue online licenses in addition to the existing town clerk process. The bill extends the license period from annually to every three years, requiring dog owners to renew their licenses every three years instead of annually. It also mandates that dog owners keep a collar or harness with a tag or plate issued by the town clerk or Department of Agriculture. The bill specifies that dogs kept under a kennel license are exempt from these requirements.
