Increases the penalties for theft of a companion animal

This bill increases penalties for stealing companion animals (like dogs and cats) by amending New York's Agriculture and Markets Law. It raises the maximum jail sentence from six months to one year for offenders convicted of this theft, while keeping the maximum fine at $5,000. The change directly affects individuals who steal pets, making the punishment more severe under existing law. The bill amends Section 366 of the Agriculture and Markets Law, effective 90 days after enactment.
