MI HB5609

Renames the "Dog Law of 1919" to the "Pet Law" to reflect broader scope of domestic animal regulation.

Adds definition of "miniature goat" to include pygmy, dwarf, and miniature goat types in the statute.

Authorizes county boards of commissioners to adopt ordinances for licensing and regulation of miniature goats that are not associated with a farm or farm operation.

Defines "farm" and "farm operation" by reference to the Michigan Right to Farm Act (1981 PA 93, MCL 286.472) to distinguish agricultural from non-agricultural miniature goat ownership.

Makes technical updates to statutory language including gender-neutral pronouns and corrected terminology (e.g., "livestock" instead of "live stock").
