Illinois lawmakers pass bill that would protect police K9s
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WTVO) — The Illinois Senate passed a bill that would ensure long-term veterinary care for retired K9s. Illinois State Police are expected to create the Police K9 Care Fund, which would award grants to handlers. The grants would provide up to $1,500 in veterinary care reimbursements. 'These dogs serve bravely alongside our officers and deserve dignity, respect and care after their service ends,' said State Senator Napoleon Harris III (D-Harvey). 'This legislation makes sure we honor their loyalty with the same commitment they've shown to us.' Harris acknowledged how important K9s are for law enforcement. 'We ask a lot of K9s in the line of duty, and caring for them in retirement is the least we can do,' Harris continued. The bill now heads to Governor Pritzker's desk to be signed into law.
