  Section 1. This act shall be known as "Templeton's Law".
  S 2. Subdivision 6 of section 209-cc of the general municipal  law  is

A RESIDENT'S NAME, ADDRESS, DOG'S NAME OR ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL MEANS  OF
NOTIFYING LOCAL RESIDENTS OF SUCH CONVICTIONS.
  (B) UPON THE DEATH OF A DANGEROUS DOG, THE OWNER OF SUCH DANGEROUS DOG
