Bill > HB06242

This bill requires pet stores, animal shelters, and animal breeders to perform mandatory vaccinations for all dogs and cats before selling or offering them for adoption. The legislation aims to ensure that animals are properly immunized prior to being transferred to new owners, which can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and protect both animal and public health. By mandating these vaccinations, the bill seeks to establish a standard of care for animal providers, ensuring that potential pet owners receive animals that have received essential medical protection. The bill appears to be a straightforward amendment to existing statutes, focusing on a proactive approach to animal health by requiring vaccination as a condition of sale or adoption across different types of animal providers.
