CHICAGO - A newly proposed Chicago ordinance could make more restaurants dog friendly.

What we know:

On Thursday, Ald. Timmy Kudsen (43rd Ward) says he will introduce an ordinance in City Council that, if passed, would overhaul Chicago's ban on dogs inside restaurants.

The proposed ordinance is not a mandate that forces all businesses to allow dogs inside, but an option designed to improve business in dog-friendly neighborhoods.

Participating businesses would need to have clear signage and agree to set health protocols.

This new ordinance would not affect the current safety guidelines for support animals.

If passed, restaurant patrons would be limited to one dog per person. All dogs must be on a leash at all times, and owners must have proof of rabies vaccinations.
