What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if an animal is being held in custody, the owner of the animal

is convicted of a crime related to animal fighting, and the animal is one year old or

older or shows indication of having participated in fighting, the animal must be

disposed of in a proper and humane manner. Under the bill, if any animal is being

held in custody and the owner of the animal is convicted of having participated in

animal fighting, the animal may either be disposed of in a proper and humane

manner or, if the person with custody of the animal determines that the animal does

not pose a threat to humans or other animals, be released to a person other than the

owner.
