Bill > A07840

This bill amends the Agriculture and Markets Law to prohibit the importing, possession, or sale of any part or product of the skin or body of a kangaroo for commercial purposes. The bill defines key terms such as "kangaroo," "commercial purposes," and "person," and establishes civil penalties for violations. The provisions are intended to supplement, not replace, other animal welfare laws, and allow for the lawful disposition of deceased kangaroos. The bill also includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the remaining provisions can still be enforced.
