A bill for an act relating to restitution for the torture, injury, or killing of a police service dog, and modifying penalties.

HF 2216 requires courts to order convicted individuals to pay restitution to law enforcement agencies for the replacement cost, training, and related expenses when a police service dog is tortured, injured, or killed. This applies to those convicted of knowingly and willfully or maliciously harming the dog, in addition to any other penalties. The bill directly affects offenders convicted under these circumstances and the law enforcement agencies that lose or require replacement of their service dogs. It creates a concrete financial obligation for harm to police dogs, focusing on covering agency costs rather than creating new criminal charges.
