Relating to: local regulation of fowl.

SB 44 prevents local governments (cities, towns, counties) from banning residents from keeping 4 or fewer chickens or quail on residential properties they own or rent in owner-occupied homes. It allows local units to require permits, request neighbor notifications, set housing location rules, ban roosters, and enforce cleanliness standards. The bill directly affects homeowners and renters in residential zones who wish to keep small flocks of poultry. It does not override condominium rules but limits local restrictions on low-scale backyard farming. The law creates clear boundaries for municipal regulation of residential fowl keeping.
