(A) It shall be unlawful for the owner, possessor or harborer of an animal to negligently allow the animal to bite a human being, who does not ordinarily reside on the premises, unless the animal has been subject to provocation, or unless the victim has been trespassing, as defined in § 90.003.
(B) It shall be unlawful for the owner, possessor or harborer of an animal, or for the victim if the victim is reasonably physically able, to fail to report to the Bureau or 911 as soon as possible that an animal has bitten a person. It shall be unlawful for any person knowing the location of the animal to fail to inform the Bureau of where the animal is located if the owner, possessor or harborer has given the animal away or caused in any way the animal to be taken from his or her premises.
(C) If the Bureau determines that a dog has bitten a human being, the Bureau shall have the authority to require protective measures pursuant to § 90.074. The Bureau shall have the authority to require the owner to file with the Bureau signed, written affidavits, and receipts where applicable, affirming that any of the measures required by the Bureau have been and will continue to be complied with. Any breach in compliance with these measures subjects the animal to seizure and forfeiture as provided in § 90.071.
(D) The Bureau Manager shall have the authority to waive any or all of these requirements if the Bureau Manager determines that the bite is inconsequential.
