Bill overview
Goldie’s Act aims to strengthen enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act by requiring the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to meticulously document and record violations during inspections and investigations. The bill mandates that USDA share these records with state, local, and municipal animal control and law enforcement agencies within 24 hours. It also establishes stricter procedures for inspectors, including the authority to confiscate and humanely destroy animals suffering harm due to violations, and outlines increased civil penalties for violators.
