Michigan SB0293 amends animal care laws to address animal forfeiture, security deposits, and restitution for animal care costs.
Michigan SB0293 amends existing laws to clarify procedures for animal forfeiture and the posting of security deposits or bonds by animal owners or possessors. If an animal is seized, the owner or possessor must post a security deposit or bond to prevent forfeiture. Failure to post within 14 days results in automatic forfeiture. The bill outlines conditions under which animals may be forfeited, including failure to provide adequate care or cruel treatment. It also details the process for hearings on the necessity and fairness of security deposits or bonds.
