Bill > HB621

This bill modifies Ohio's existing law regarding pet store regulation by making two primary changes: first, it alters section 956.181 of the Revised Code to slightly adjust the reference to sections of the code governing pet stores (changing the range from "956.19 to 956.23" to "956.19 to 956.22"), and second, it repeals two existing sections of the law - section 956.181 in its current form and section 956.23. The bill maintains the existing structure of the pet store license fund, which collects money from license fees and civil penalties, and continues to authorize the director of agriculture to use these funds for administering pet store regulations. The practical effect appears to be a technical refinement of the legal code related to pet store licensing, potentially removing or consolidating certain regulatory provisions while keeping the core licensing and administrative framework intact.
