AI Summary
This bill aims to promote the adoption of dogs and cats from animal shelters by establishing tax credits for the costs associated with such adoptions. It creates a new "Adopt a Shelter Pet Fund" to be administered by the Department of Revenue, which will provide reimbursement for the tax credits. The bill also allows for the creation of a special motor vehicle registration plate with the words "I'm Animal Friendly" to support the fund. The tax credits are tiered based on the age and condition of the adopted pet, with higher credits for older or disabled animals. The credits are distributed over three consecutive tax years as long as the pet remains with the adopter.
