Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation removes the requirement that counties obtain veterinary care for impounded animals, though they are still required to provide humane care. It also provides a mechanism (through filing a cost of animal care petition with the court) for counties to recover the cost of the expense of providing humane care to the impounded animal from the animal's owner.
