The Maryland Senate has approved legislation that will hold dog owners liable for canine bites. However, according to WBAL News, the measure will also give owners a chance to rebut a presumption of liability in court. The bill is a compromise to address a ruling that found pitbulls to be an "inherently dangerous" breed in 2012. The Senate passed the bill 45-0 on Friday. The bill now goes to the vote of the Maryland House of Delegates.
