AI Summary
This bill requires certain research facilities in Michigan to offer laboratory animals that are no longer needed for research and deemed suitable for adoption to their employees or animal protection shelters before euthanizing them. The bill also allows for written agreements between research facilities and animal protection shelters, as well as between shelters and adopting individuals, to address any risks or liabilities associated with the former laboratory animals. This bill, known as "Teddy's Law," amends the existing 1969 law that licenses and regulates dealers and research facilities using dogs and cats for research purposes.
