Better CARE for Animals Act of 2025 Better Collaboration, Accountability, and Regulatory Enforcement for Animals Act of 2025

Introduced·4/30/25

Better CARE for Animals Act of 2025 aims to enhance enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act.

The Better CARE for Animals Act of 2025 amends the Animal Welfare Act to strengthen enforcement capabilities. It allows the Attorney General to bring civil actions for violations, including injunctions and civil penalties. The Act also mandates that violators may be charged for the costs of animal seizure and care. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of Agriculture to collaborate with the Attorney General to share information on repeat offenders. The Act ensures that neither the Attorney General nor the Secretary's actions limit the other's enforcement authority.
