AI Summary
This bill creates a new section in KRS Chapter 525 to establish the offense of "sexual crimes against an animal." It defines "animal" as any non-human creature and "sexual contact" as any act between a person and an animal for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification, abuse, or financial gain. The bill makes engaging in, advertising, soliciting, or causing sexual contact with an animal a Class D felony. However, it provides exceptions for accepted veterinary practices, artificial insemination, animal husbandry, and breed conformation judging. Additionally, the bill amends KRS 258.005 and 258.095 to include "sexual crimes against" animals in the duties of animal control officers, and amends KRS 436.605 to give these officers the power to enforce laws related to sexual crimes against animals.
