New York S05423 amends the agriculture and markets law to change the judicial process for dogs that cause the death of companion animals, farm animals, or domestic animals while trespassing on property. The bill specifies that an order for humane euthanasia of such a dog cannot be carried out until the end of a 30-day appeal period, unless the dog's owner waives their right to appeal. The law also allows for the dog to be euthanized or permanently confined if certain aggravating circumstances are established during the judicial hearing.
