What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires certain persons who breed and sell dogs (commercial dog breeders) to be licensed by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). The licensing requirement applies to a person who is engaged in the business of breeding dogs and who sells or offers to sell at least 100 dogs in a year for resale.
The bill authorizes DATCP to inspect a location for which a commercial dog breeder license is required before issuing an initial license. The bill also authorizes DATCP to inspect a location for which a commercial dog breeder license is required when DATCP has reason to believe that there is a violation of this state's criminal laws relating to the treatment of animals or of the federal Animal Welfare Act. The bill requires DATCP to promulgate rules setting fees for commercial dog breeder licenses. The bill provides civil and criminal penalties for operating without a required license and authorizes DATCP to suspend or revoke a license if it finds a violation of this state's criminal laws relating to the treatment of animals or of the federal Animal Welfare Act.
