Summary

Existing law imposes various requirements upon dog owners in rabies areas designated by the State Public Health Officer. Any person who violates these requirements is guilty of an infraction, punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000. Violation of these requirements also results in impounding of the dog by the local jurisdiction. Among the requirements imposed under existing law, is that a dog 4 months of age or older must be vaccinated for rabies, as specified. This bill would exempt from the vaccination requirement a dog, whose life would be endangered due to disease or other considerations if the dog received the vaccine, as determined by a licensed veterinarian on an annual basis. The bill would also prohibit a dog that is exempt from the vaccination requirement to be off the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer or to have contact with an unvaccinated cat or dog and would require, if the dog is off the premises of the owner, keeper, or harborer, to be on a leash not to exceed 6 feet in length and to be under the direct physical control of an adult. Existing law authorizes a city, city and county, or county to provide, by ordinance, for the issuance of a license for a dog that has attained the age of 4 months or older and has been vaccinated against rabies. The license period shall not extend beyond the remaining period of validity for the current rabies vaccination. This bill would prohibit, in the event that a dog is exempted from the vaccination requirement, the license period from extending beyond one year. By imposing a higher level of service upon local agencies and by changing the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
