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

This bill allows animal rescue groups and shelters (like humane societies and adoption organizations) to implant microchips in dogs and cats they care for, unless the animal already has one. It requires these groups to update contact information linked to each microchip, including the adopter's details and current owner info for lost animals. The law applies to tax-exempt organizations registered with the state that provide animals for adoption. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
