Caroline County - Regulation of Animals - Dogs

HB 1038 repeals the requirement for Caroline County dog owners to renew licenses annually by July 1. It removes the specific deadline from county law (previously requiring renewal "on or before July 1 of each year"), while keeping other provisions like the 6-month age minimum, fee structure, and metal tag specifications. This directly affects dog owners in Caroline County who no longer need to meet an annual renewal date. The bill maintains existing rules for license fees, tag design (metal, serial numbers, 1-inch size), and replacement costs ($0.25), but eliminates the fixed renewal deadline.
