to amend 174.06 (7); and
to create 174.065
2(1) (b) of the statutes;
relating to: issuance of dog licenses by veterinarians.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally requires the owner of a dog to obtain an annual license
for the dog. Dog licenses are issued by the city, village or town treasurer unless the
governing body of the city, village or town provides for a different person to issue the
licenses.
This bill allows counties to authorize veterinarians to issue dog licenses.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
