Bill overview
This bill prohibits pet brokers from making dogs under one year old, cats, or rabbits available for sale or adoption. It defines a ‘broker’ as someone who sells, arranges, or facilitates the sale of animals bred by others for profit. The law aims to protect young animals from being sold commercially and aligns with existing pet protection laws. Certain exemptions apply, including sales by the animal’s original owner, sales to government agencies, guide dogs, and specific animal rescue groups and nonprofits.
