defining residential breeder and imported animal for the purposes of animal transfers and removing references to commercial kennels.

Reorganized the text flow to explicitly connect the pet vendor definition with the exemption from population control fees.

Updated the document header and title to indicate the bill is 'As Amended by the House' and added a new timestamp.

Replaced the term 'commercial kennel' with 'pet vendor' in the definitions and licensing sections to update the language used in the statute.

Added a new provision explicitly exempting residential breeders from compliance with specific departmental rules regarding premises requirements for housing or displaying animals.
