DeSantis signs new Florida law to cover medical costs for retired police dogs
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday signed a measure to cover medical costs of retired law-enforcement dogs.
The law (SB 226), which will take effect July 1, will allow handlers of retired police dogs to receive up to $1,500 in reimbursements for annual veterinary costs.
"They're put in very difficult situations," DeSantis said of the dogs during a bill-signing event at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center in Bunnell. "And they're not only protecting the officers, but they're protecting the public as a whole."
