SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Pounds and animal shelters; penalties. Amends sections of the Comprehensive Animal Laws to provide consistency and eliminate duplicative subsections. This bill changes who may assess civil penalties for animal shelters that violate the Comprehensive Animal Laws from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services, to be consistent with the penalties provided for pounds in § 3.1-796.96. This bill deletes the penalty and injunctive relief subsections in § 3.1-796.120 because they are duplicative of subsections E and F of § 3.1-796.96:2.
