Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1969 PA 224, entitled"An act to license and regulate dealers that deliver, transport, board, buy, or sell dogs or cats for laboratory research purposes; to regulate research facilities that use dogs or cats for laboratory research; to require research facilities to offer laboratory animals no longer needed for laboratory research to certain animal protection shelters for adoption before euthanizing; to require research facilities to submit annual reports; to provide immunity from civil liability under certain conditions; to create certain funds; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,"by amending section 11a (MCL 287.391a), as added by 2023 PA 314.
AI Summary
This bill modifies reporting requirements for research facilities that use laboratory animals, requiring them to submit a more detailed annual report to the state department by March 31st each year. Specifically, the bill changes the current vague attestation of compliance to a mandate that research facilities provide three specific pieces of information about their laboratory animals for the preceding calendar year: the total number of animals owned by the facility, the total number used in research, and the total number of animals released. The bill maintains a provision that the department will use this information to determine compliance with existing regulations and will not publicly share the reported information on its website. The expanded reporting requirements aim to provide more transparency about the use and management of laboratory animals while protecting the detailed information from public disclosure.
