Massachusetts H2256 aims to protect pets by regulating the sale and placement of dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Massachusetts H2256 establishes regulations to protect pets by requiring sellers to provide detailed information about the animals they sell. Sellers must post signs with the animal's age, sex, color, and identifying information. They must also maintain records of the animal's health and source.
