Bill Summary
Relative to the adoption of certain research animals. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill aims to facilitate the adoption of dogs and cats used for research or product testing. It requires research facilities and product testing facilities to assess the health of these animals after testing and, unless the animal is deemed unsuitable for adoption due to medical or behavioral issues, make a reasonable effort to offer the animal for adoption to an individual, animal shelter, or animal rescue organization. The bill also outlines principles for selecting suitable adopters and limits the liability of research facilities and product testing facilities for any issues that may arise after adoption. The bill exempts newborn animals that require maternal care from the adoption requirement.
