Wyoming County committee sets Sept. 8 public hearing for proposed "Ziggy’s Law" animal-abuser registry
Summary
The Public Safety Committee introduced Local Law B ("Ziggy's Law") to create an animal abuser registry maintained by the Wyoming County Sheriff and set a public hearing for Sept. 8, 2026 at 2:30 PM in Supervisors' Chambers.
Wyoming County’s Public Safety Committee on July 30 introduced Local Law B of 2026, titled "A Local Law Establishing an Animal Abuser Registry in Wyoming County — 'Ziggy’s Law,'" and set a public hearing for September 8, 2026 at 2:30 PM in the county government center’s Supervisors’ Chambers.
Under the proposed law the registry would be maintained by the Wyoming County Sheriff; the agenda text describes the measure as an "Animal Abuser Registry" without additional operational details in the minutes. The motion to introduce the local law and set the hearing was made by Supervisor Klein and was recorded with seven ayes.
The committee’s introduction does not yet adopt the registry; the scheduled public hearing will provide a formal opportunity for public comment and for the committee to consider revisions prior to any vote on adoption. The committee packet and the local law text are expected to be available through the county clerk’s office before the September hearing.
