AI Summary
This bill aims to protect research animals by requiring research institutions and product testing facilities to offer dogs and cats that they intend to euthanize or destroy for non-research purposes to animal shelters or rescue organizations for adoption or private placement. The bill provides exceptions where the institution does not have to offer the animal for adoption if the animal poses a health or safety risk or is a newborn in need of maternal care. The bill also defines key terms such as "product testing facility" and "animal rescue organization" to clarify the scope of the legislation.
