HB3222 amends the Humane Care for Animals Act by changing the time limit for filing a petition for forfeiture of companion animals seized during an arrest. The State's Attorney now has 30 days, instead of 14 days, to file a petition for forfeiture prior to trial. The petition must be filed with the court and copies served on the impounding agency, the owner, and anyone claiming an interest in the animals. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to show that the person arrested violated specific sections of the Act or related criminal codes.
