SB 50 New Hampshire Senate · 2025 Regular Session

establishing a committee to study the regulation of private animal boarding facilities.

SB 50 establishes a committee to study how to regulate private animal boarding facilities (like kennels or pet boarding homes). The bill does not create new regulations but directs the committee to examine potential oversight standards for these facilities. This committee will assess existing practices and recommend changes to state law, though the bill itself does not implement any new rules. The committee's work will inform future legislative action on animal boarding facility regulations.
