Dangerous dog regulation bill named after Pam Rock gets unanimous FL Senate support

A bill addressing dangerous dogs, prompted by a tragic local case, passed unanimously on the state senate floor Monday. The Pam Rock Act is named after a mail carrier who died in 2022 in Putnam County after being mauled by a pack of five dogs.

State Sen. Jay Collins is one of the co-sponsors for the bill. He spoke on the Senate floor Monday about what the Pam Rock Act would accomplish.

“What it does simply is raise the bar in terms of punishment,” said FL Senator of District 14, Jay Collins. “It makes sure that these dogs that attack somebody are held if they cause severe enough damage. It makes sure that we use a specific bite index to grade these bites realistically and methodically.”
