Most of the larger jurisdictions near Lawrence (Topeka, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Overland Park) have more stringent
requirements on dangerous dogs and pit bull dogs.
BSL restrictions may include a total breed ban, or some lesser rules such as (but not limited to): higher licensing fees, registering the
dog as
dangerous with local governments, liability insurance coverage, mandatory sterilization, muzzling
on public property, placement of warning signage
on private property, and standardized caging
requirements.
Urge them to let the
dangerous dog ordinance work and improve
on it with a potentially
dangerous dog ordinance that requires owners to take responsibility before there is a serious injury and eliminates onerous insurance
requirements in favor of positive training and owner responsibility classes.  Send them here for more information.  Â
