AUSTIN, Tex. – After a nearly identical bill was vetoed by Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this year, Senate Bill 5, also known as the Safe Outdoor Dogs Act, was signed into law on Monday.
The governor gave the bill, with slight changes, a second chance during the third special legislative session after he faced criticism for vetoing the previous bill, which passed both Texas chambers with wide bipartisan support. At the time, Abbott said, “Texas is no place for this kind of micro-managing and over-criminalization.”
