Hawaii SB593 regulates large-scale dog breeders by requiring licenses, setting care standards, and imposing penalties for noncompliance.

SB593 aims to regulate large-scale dog breeders in Hawaii by requiring them to obtain a license and adhere to specific care standards. The bill mandates that dog breeders provide dogs with sufficient food, clean water, shelter, space, veterinary care, and regular exercise. It also prohibits certain practices, such as breeding dogs under twelve months or over eight years old, and limits the number of dogs a breeder can own. Dog breeders must maintain detailed records of each dog and their offspring, including microchip identification, breeding dates, and health records.
