Drivers in Florida could face fines if they allow dogs to hang their heads out of windows under proposed animal protection laws.
The bill would also ban cat declawing and animal testing for cosmetics.
Dogs would have to be restrained in an appropriately sized crate, a harness, a pet seat belt or under passenger supervision.
The animals would not be permitted to ride in the driver’s lap or on motorcycles.
Dogs could ride in the back of pickup trucks, but only in a crate that is properly secured to the vehicle.
Violators would face non-criminal traffic infractions.
