Bill > HB3226

This bill proposes to waive the adoption fee for animals at county or municipal shelters or humane societies for individuals who have served as members of the United States armed forces, National Guard, or reserve. The bill limits the number of dogs or cats that can be adopted by a veteran under this provision to one animal during any two-year period. This change is being made to Section 19-20-8 of the West Virginia Code, which outlines the impounding and disposition of dogs, including the costs and fees associated with these processes.
