Requires licensed veterinarians to examine dogs and cats imported into Illinois and mandates shelters to provide adopters with examination documents.
HB3647 amends the Animal Welfare Act to mandate that a licensed veterinarian examine each dog or cat imported into Illinois from another state by an animal shelter or animal control facility. The veterinarian must provide an examination document to the facility. The act also requires shelters to give adopters specific information about the animal, including breed, age, medical history, and adoption fees. Shelters must post this information near the animal's cage and provide adopters with a written statement and an acknowledgement form to sign.
