HB 2704 Holding period and methods of disposal for certain stray animals.

Introduced by: Terrie L. Suit | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Holding period and methods of disposal for certain stray animals. Excludes “collar” as a form of identification for the purpose of determining the holding period for stray animals. This bill allows pounds to dispose of animals with collars, but not with tags, tattoos, or other forms of identification, after the initial 5-day holding period. Also, this bill allows pounds to dispose of animals with collars, but no other form of identification, by sale or gift to a governmental agency, institution, or dealer, or to a humane society, animal shelter, or companion animal rescue agency in another state. The law currently limits these methods of disposal only to animals that did not bear a collar, tag, license, tattoo, or other form of identification when delivered to the pound.
