A bill for an act relating to restitution for the torture, injury, or killing of a police service dog, and modifying penalties.
HF 2015 requires courts to order convicted individuals to pay restitution to law enforcement agencies for the replacement, training, and related costs of police service dogs that are permanently disabled or killed due to intentional harm. It directly affects people convicted of knowingly and willfully torturing, injuring, or killing a police dog. The bill adds this restitution requirement as an additional penalty beyond existing punishments. It does not cover accidental injuries or minor harm, focusing only on severe, intentional acts against working police dogs.
