AI Summary
This bill establishes tax credits to promote the adoption of dogs and cats from animal shelters. It creates a separate "Adopt a Shelter Pet Fund" to be administered by the Department of Revenue, which will provide reimbursement for the tax credits. The bill also allows the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to offer a distinctive registration plate with the words "I'm Animal Friendly," with the proceeds from the additional plate fee deposited into the Adopt a Shelter Pet Fund. The tax credits range from $100 to $400 for adopting dogs and cats of various ages and conditions from qualifying adoption entities, and the credits are distributed over three tax years as long as the pet remains with the adopter.
