A new Florida bill filed last Friday, would make it illegal to let a dog be in a driver’s lap or stick their head out of a window of a moving car.
Additionally, Senate Bill 932, filed by state Sen. Lauren Book (D-Broward) and intended to protect animals, would also ban the declawing of cats in the state.
Book’s bill would mandate crates for dogs being transported in a motor vehicle on a public roadway.
The canine “must be in a crate, restrained safely with a harness or pet seat belt, or under the physical control of a person other than the driver of the car” when moving from Point A to Point B.

The bill would also mandate that a dog being transported in the open bed of a pickup truck must be restrained using a dog crate that is secured to the pickup truck.”
Violators would face potential moving violation citations, though the charges would not count as criminal traffic violations.
The bill filed would also prohibit “a manufacturer from manufacturing, importing for profit, selling, or offering for sale in this state a cosmetic developed or manufactured using cosmetic animal testing conducted or contracted by certain persons or from conducting or contracting for cosmetic animal testing.”

The Humane Society supports Book’s bill.
“Although most dogs love to stick their heads out open windows, the wind can seriously irritate mucous membranes and blow pieces of grit or other debris into their eyes,” the Humane Society said. “Pets could also be seriously injured by objects as you drive down the road.”
The bill also sets rules for cat owners, making cat declawing illegal if it is not for a necessary medical therapy.
If a cat is declawed or partially declawed, the state would be able to fine the owner $1,000. Individual incidents of a cat being declawed or partially declawed would legally count as separate violations.
