A 11102 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to microchipping of certain animals possessed by animal protective associations and rescue organizations

This bill allows tax-exempt animal shelters, humane societies, and rescue organizations to implant microchips in dogs and cats they hold, provided the animal does not already have one. It requires these groups to make a good-faith effort to keep the contact information for each microchip up to date, including details about the organization, adoptive owners, and current owners of lost or found animals. The law applies specifically to entities that are registered with the state and dedicated to caring for unwanted animals.
