Michigan HB6168 updates dog licensing to include information on microchip implantation and registration.

Michigan HB6168 amends the dog licensing process to ensure that when a dog license is issued, the issuing authority must inform the dog owner about the availability of microchip implantation and registration. This applies to county treasurers, city clerks, city treasurers, township treasurers, and authorized agents of these offices, including veterinarians and animal shelters. The bill references definitions from 1969 PA 287, clarifying that animal control shelters and animal protection shelters are facilities registered with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
