AI Summary

This bill amends the agriculture and markets law to require the owner of any place or establishment where animals or fowls are slaughtered or butchered for food to reimburse the costs associated with capturing and returning, or rescuing and rehabilitating, any animals that have escaped from such facility. The bill defines an "escaped animal" as any animal or fowl that has broken free and fled from confinement or control at the slaughtering or butchering facility. It also provides for a civil penalty of $1,000 for each incident, which would be donated to the municipal or county shelter where the animal escaped, and allows the owner to relinquish ownership of the escaped animal in lieu of paying the penalty.
