Michigan SB0283 amends existing law to increase penalties for stealing or otherwise taking a dog without the owner's consent. Under the new law, such actions would be considered a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for up to one year, a fine ranging from $500 to $1,500, or both. The bill also repeals a previous section of law related to dog theft. This change aims to strengthen protections for dog owners and their pets.
