AN ACT CONCERNING A REGISTRATION SYSTEM FOR SERVICE AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS.

HB 6216 would require Connecticut's Commissioner of Agriculture to create a registration system for service and emotional support animals. The system would issue identification cards and include a photograph for each registered animal. This bill directly affects individuals who use these animals by establishing a formal registration process managed by the state. The key mechanism is the mandatory registration with the Commissioner of Agriculture, replacing any existing informal practices.
