AI Summary
This bill prohibits circuses from conducting shows or other performances in the state of New York for two years if the circus has been found to be in violation or non-compliance with the federal Animal Welfare Act of 1966. The bill defines a "circus" as any performance of animals that are trained to perform, and does not apply to not-for-profit corporations that have received tax-exempt status. The Attorney General can seek an injunction to enforce this prohibition if the circus has been cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a deficiency related to animal care or handling, or has been found guilty of violating state laws related to animal cruelty or neglect.
