AI Summary
This bill aims to provide a remedy for the sale of sick puppies and kittens. It defines key terms like "buyer," "seller," and "unfit for sale," and outlines the process for a veterinarian to declare a puppy or kitten unfit for sale. The bill gives buyers several options, including returning the animal for a refund or replacement, or keeping the animal and receiving reimbursement for veterinary fees. The bill also allows sellers to contest a buyer's demand and requires the remedy to be provided within 30 days. The bill excludes certain organizations like shelters and animal control facilities from these provisions.
