Bill overview
This bill restricts the keeping of roosters in California, aiming to curb illegal cockfighting and mitigate associated risks. Starting January 1, 2027, individuals can only keep a maximum of 25 roosters that are confined within an enclosure or tether. Violators face civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, and the bill also establishes specific exemptions for certain activities and organizations. It adds new provisions to the Health and Safety Code to further regulate rooster ownership and address concerns related to avian diseases like avian flu.
