BSL state-by-state
States with BSL
Over 250 US cities have enacted breed-specific laws, nearly all focus on pit bull type dogs. Cities that reside within states containing a "BSL prohibition" clause have effectively implemented them as well. Courts have found these laws constitutionally sound despite the prohibition clause.

States with constitutionally upheld BSL
State supreme courts, federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court, consistently reason that dogs are "property" and can be regulated under "police authority" for the purposes of public safety. Learn more about this topic in Constitutionality.
