Named after a dog found tied to an Interstate 4 fence before Hurricane Milton, the legislation has garnered widespread support across the state. The bill seeks to enhance regulations on dog breeders and improve the conditions under which animals are kept, following the tragic incident where a child was killed by dogs, prompting further legislative action.
The 'Troopers Law' bill, which also passed through the Florida Legislature, focuses on several key areas.
