SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Confinement and disposition of stray animals. Allows stray animals to be adopted by any person. Currently, such animals may only be adopted by residents of the locality for which the pound or animal shelter is operated or an adjacent locality. The bill requires that animals that are adopted by persons who are not residents of the locality for which the pound or shelter is operated or an adjacent locality must be sterilized prior to adoption. The bill also increases the fine for failure to comply with a sterilization agreement signed when adopting an animal from $50 to $150. This bill is identical to SB 935.
