NY S01632

Adds two new definitions to the agriculture and markets law: "livestock guardian dog" (dogs used to protect livestock from predators) and "herding dog" (dogs trained to herd cattle, sheep, or other livestock)

Changes municipal dog licensing fee exemptions from permissive ("may") to mandatory ("shall") for working dogs

Expands the list of dogs exempt from licensing fees to include livestock guardian dogs and herding dogs, alongside existing categories like guide dogs, service dogs, police work dogs, and therapy dogs

Requires dog licenses for these newly exempt categories to be marked "Livestock Guardian Dog" or "Herding Dog" as appropriate
