Amending the Kansas pet animal act to require the Kansas department of agriculture to maintain records of inspections for not less than five years and removing the requirement that the commissioner only apply federal rules and regulations to United States department of agriculture licensed animal distributors and animal breeders.

SB 130 updates Kansas's pet animal regulations by requiring the Kansas Department of Agriculture to keep inspection records for at least five years. It also removes a prior rule that limited the commissioner to applying only federal USDA rules to licensed animal distributors and breeders, allowing state-specific enforcement. These changes directly affect animal shelters, breeders, distributors, and kennels operating under Kansas's pet animal act. The bill modifies licensing requirements, including bond posting for seized animals and notification rules for businesses closing, while increasing certain fees.
