Counties and municipalities are prohibited from banning or imposing inconsistent requirements on battery-charged fences with alarm systems in areas not zoned exclusively for residential use

Battery-charged fences must use no more than 12 volts of direct current and comply with international electrotechnical commission standards for electric fence energizers

Fences must be enclosed by a non-electric perimeter fence or wall at least 5 feet high, with the battery-charged fence reaching 10 feet or 2 feet above the perimeter, whichever is higher

Warning signs reading "WARNING: ELECTRIC FENCE" must be posted at intervals of no more than 30 feet

Local governments cannot require a separate permit for battery-charged fences beyond an existing alarm permit
