A bill for an act relating to the treatment of animals other than agricultural animals by providing for the inspection or monitoring of commercial establishments by the department of agriculture and land stewardship, and making penalties applicable.

SF 2306 requires Iowa's Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship to inspect businesses that handle non-agricultural animals, such as pet shops, shelters, boarding kennels, and commercial breeders. The bill mandates regular inspections during business hours and priority inspections for complaints or suspected violations of animal care standards. Businesses must allow inspections, and refusal may lead to a warrant for entry. This applies only to commercial animal businesses (not farms or agricultural operations), focusing on ensuring minimum care standards like food, water, and veterinary access.
