Bill > SB344

This bill modifies existing Kansas law concerning animal shelters by allowing them to place certain animals needing treatment or care, specifically neonates (newborn animals less than eight weeks old that are dependent on a caregiver), into foster homes. It also requires shelters to display photographs of animals at a location other than the shelter, and on the shelter's website if they have one, during the mandatory holding period before an animal can be disposed of. Additionally, the bill extends the required record-keeping period for animal shelter inspection reports from three to five years, ensuring a longer history of compliance is maintained by the Kansas Department of Agriculture's Division of Animal Health.
