Bill Summary

This bill addresses the handling of personal animals impacted by eviction.

AI Summary

This bill addresses the handling of personal animals impacted by eviction. It amends existing law to require that when an order of restitution is enforced, and a personal animal (such as a dog, cat, or rabbit) is present, the sheriff or constable must either give the animal to the tenant if the tenant is present, or notify the local animal control authority to take custody of the animal if the tenant is not present. The bill also sets standards for the animal control authority's handling of the personal animal, including applying the same standards as for other impounded animals, and posting notice of where the animal is taken. The bill takes effect on May 1, 2024.
