Bill > SB3012

This bill requires that any dog or cat brought into the State of Hawaii must have documentation proving it has been surgically sterilized, meaning spayed or neutered by a licensed veterinarian, as a condition of entry, with exceptions for animals imported for less than ninety days that won't be sold or transferred, animals whose health would be jeopardized by sterilization as certified by a veterinarian, or for registered breeders who declare their intent to import an intact animal for breeding or show purposes. The Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity will collect these declarations for intact animals and forward them to the appropriate county animal control agencies or contractors, and the department may charge fees to cover administrative costs and will establish rules to implement these requirements, with the entire process set to take effect on July 1, 2050.
