Summary

Existing law governs the seizure, rescue, adopting out, and euthanasia of abandoned and surrendered animals by animal control officers, law enforcement officers, animal shelters, and rescue organizations, and uses various terms, including "pound." This bill would replace a reference to "pound" with "animal shelter." The bill also would make nonsubstantive changes. Existing law references the State Humane Association of California and the California Animal Control Directors Association in connection with animal welfare provisions. This bill would replace those references with the California Animal Welfare Association to reflect the merger of those two entities. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 25988 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by SB 781 to be operative only if this bill and SB 781 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
