Bill Summary
For legislation to impose a penalty for the filthy and dirty confinement of certain farm animals. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to amend the existing law by expanding the application of a provision that imposes a penalty for the filthy and dirty confinement of certain animals to also include farm animals. The key provision is the addition of a new subsection (i) to Section 174E of Chapter 140 of the General Laws, which states that the existing penalty for cruel confinement conditions shall apply to farm animals as defined in the federal regulations. This change is intended to address the issue of poor living conditions for farm animals and impose consequences for such cruel treatment.
