AN ACT REQUIRING PET STORES, SHELTERS AND ANIMAL BREEDERS TO PERFORM MANDATORY VACCINATIONS FOR CATS AND DOGS.

HB 6242 requires pet stores, animal shelters, and breeders to administer required vaccinations to cats and dogs before selling or offering them for adoption. The bill directly affects these businesses by mandating vaccination compliance as a condition of sale or adoption. Key provisions specify that all dogs and cats sold or adopted through these entities must receive the legally required vaccinations. The purpose is to ensure animal health and prevent disease spread at the point of transfer to new owners.
