Plain-language change summary

The changes to Senate Bill 1047 clarify the language around animal cruelty by replacing the term "protracted suffering" with "unreasonable suffering" and refining the definitions of actions constituting animal cruelty. This matters because it helps specify the standards for what constitutes neglect and abuse, making it easier for law enforcement and prosecutors to address cases of cruelty towards animals. By ensuring clearer definitions, the bill aims to enhance protections for animals under human care.
