HB2484

Establishes micro shelters for animals and outlines minimum requirements for those shelters to operate

HB 2484 establishes micro shelters for animals, which are defined as shelters housing no more than ten animals at any one time, excluding infant puppies or kittens born to an animal housed at the shelter. The bill outlines minimum requirements for these shelters, including provisions for adequate food, water, and housing. Micro shelters are exempt from sale to the general public and must register annually with the director at no cost. The bill also exempts hobby or show breeders from licensure and inspection requirements if they harbor three or less intact females.
