A bill for an act providing for the regulation of commercial establishments possessing or controlling nonagricultural animals, providing penalties, and making penalties applicable.

HF 2674 requires licenses for commercial establishments that handle nonagricultural animals (like pet shops, kennels, breeders, and research facilities) and prohibits them from purchasing animals from unlicensed sources. It mandates that these businesses maintain records and be inspected by the state department, with inspection frequency based on risk assessments of potential animal welfare violations. The bill directly affects businesses selling or caring for pets, including pet shops, boarding kennels, and commercial breeders, by imposing licensing requirements and compliance checks. Penalties for violations are included but not detailed in the provided text. The legislation aims to standardize oversight of animal welfare in commercial settings through licensing, recordkeeping, and targeted inspections.
