751 The following Fiscal Impact Statement and Bill Analysis are prepared for the benefit of the members of the General Assembly, solely for purposes of information, summarization and explanation and do not represent the intent of the General Assembly or either chamber thereof for any purpose.

In general, fiscal impacts are based upon a variety of informational sources, including the analyst’s professional knowledge.

Whenever applicable, agency data is consulted as part of the analysis, however final products do not necessarily reflect an assessment from any specific department.

None Explanation The bill makes various changes to animal-related laws.

It extends to animal shelter operators the same requirement that animal importers currently have (that dogs and cats be examined by a veterinarian within 48 hours of the animals entering the state).

Currently, violators are subject to a fine of up to $500 for each animal in violation.

The bill instead subjects an animal importer or animal shelter operator to a $250 fine per animal for a first violation and $500 fine per animal for subsequent violations.

Additionally,thebillrequiresanimalshelteroperatorsormaintainers tokeeprecordsofcertainveterinaryservicesforeachdogorcatforthree years, as current law does for animal importers.

The bill subjects an animal importer or animal shelter operator or maintainer who violates this provision to a $250 fine for a first violation and $500 fine for subsequent violations.

These provisions may result in a minimal revenue gain, expected to be less than $20,000 annually, to the extent sHB6504 / File No.

751 sHB6504 File No.

751 violations occur.

Also, the bill requires the Department of Agriculture (DoAg) to develop a waiver request process and form for an animal’s owner or veterinarian to request a reduction of a rabies quarantine period from six months to four months for animals exposed to rabies.

The bill requires DoAg to post the process and form on their website.

This is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact as the agency currently has expertise for this purpose.

It increases, from 10% to 20%, the maximum amount of funds that may be expended from the animal population control account, administered by DoAg, that may be used for sterilizing and vaccinating feral cats.

These sections update the reimbursement paid to veterinarians participating in the animal population control program up to 75% of the market rate for sterilization and vaccination services, plus $30, instead of $20 as under current law.

Currently, a veterinarian receives, $120 for a female dog, $100 for a male dog, $70 for a female cat, and $50 for a male cat, per sterilization, which is expected to be less than market rate in most municipalities.

The increase in reimbursement rate would result in the animal population control account expending funds at a rate faster than it otherwise would under the bill.

The current balance in the animal population control account is $644,517.

In 2020, there were 5,946 vouchers were issued under the animal population control program.

The bill requires a veterinarian to establish a veterinarian-client- patient relationship with the animal and the animal’s owner which has DoAg's Animal Population Control Program:

(1) provides low-income Connecticut residents discounted sterilization and vaccination options for dogs and cats, and (2) assistsregisterednonprofit rescuegroupswiththesterilizationandvaccinationofferal cats.

DoAg uses a separate, nonlapsing APC account for these costs.

Revenue is derived from a surcharge on municipal dog licenses, certain animal adoption fees for pounds’ unsterilized cats and dogs, and proceeds from commemorative APCP “Caring for Pets” license plates.

Lastly, the bill makes technical and conforming changes that have no fiscal impact.

This has no fiscal impact.

SUMMARY This bill makes a number of unrelated changes to animal-related statutes.

Principally, it:

1.

requires, when an animal control officer (ACO) seizes an animal that is neglected or cruelly treated and a veterinarian determines the animal is too injured or diseased to be treated, the ACO to have the animal humanely euthanized by a licensed veterinarian;

2.

allows municipalities and regional animal control facilities to appoint a temporary ACO from another municipality for up to days;

3.

requires regional animal control facilities to meet the same construction, maintenance, and sanitation standards as municipal pounds must under state law and regulations;

4.

requires animal shelters to have dogs and cats examined regularly by a licensed veterinarian and maintain records of veterinary services rendered, which existing law requires of animal importers, and revises fines for violations;

5.

requires the agriculture commissioner to develop a process to allow an animal’s owner to request a reduction, from six months to four months, in the rabies quarantine period under specified circumstances;

6.

increases, from 10% to 20%, the maximum amount of the animal sHB6504 / File No.

751 23 sHB6504 File No.

751 population control account funds that may be used for sterilizing and vaccinating feral cats under the agriculture department’s animal population control program (APCP);

and 7.

updates the reimbursement amount paid to veterinarians participating in the APCP.

Additionally, the bill generally requires a veterinarian, in order to practice veterinary medicine on an animal, to establish a veterinarian- client-patient relationship with the animal and the animal’s owner or caretaker.

It identifies the conditions that must be met to establish this relationship and allows the relationship to be maintained through veterinary telemedicine.

Lastly, the bill makes technical and conforming changes.

*House Amendment “A” removes certain provisions about service animals and adds the veterinarian-client-patient relationship and veterinary telemedicine provisions.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Upon passage, except the veterinarian-client- patient relationshipandveterinary telemedicine provisionsare effective July 1, 2021, and the APCP provisions are effective October 31, 2021.

§ 1 — POULTRY DEFINITION The bill makes a minor change to align the definition of poultry in the dog and companion animal statutes with the definition of poultry in the poultry dealer statute.

(Under the poultry dealer statute, poultry is any domestic fowl or game bird raised for food production, breeding, exhibition, or sale (CGS § 22-326s).) § 2 — SERVICE ANIMAL DEFINITION The bill adds a definition of “service animal” to the statutes concerning dogs and other companion animals.

It defines “service animal” as (1) a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability (which is the definition in the federal Americans with Disabilities Act regulations) and (2) an animal in sHB6504 / File No.

751 24 sHB6504 File No.

751 training to become a service animal.

§§ 3, 4 & 7 — ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS AND SEIZED ANIMALS Under current law, if an ACO takes physical custody of an animal that the ACO believes is in imminent harm and is neglected or cruelly treated and the animal is so injured or diseased in the opinion of a licensed veterinarian that it should be destroyed immediately, then the ACO may humanely destroy it or cause it to be humanely destroyed.

The bill instead allows the ACO to have the animal humanely euthanized by a licensed veterinarian under those circumstances.

Under current law, if a court is involved in a case of animal neglect or cruelty and determines that the animal is so injured or diseased that it shouldbedestroyed,thecourt mayorderthat theanimalbehumanely destroyed.

The bill instead allows the court to order that the animal be humanely euthanized by a licensed veterinarian.

The bill also makes minor, technical, and conforming changes, including replacing references to “the chief ACO, any ACO, and any municipal ACO” with references to ACOs appointed under state law.

§ 5 — TEMPORARY ACO APPOINTMENT The bill allows a municipality’s chief elected official or a regional animal control facility (presumably the facility’s operator) to appoint an ACO from another municipality to act as the temporary ACO for the municipality or region for up to 90 days.

The bill grants the temporary ACO the same powers and authority he or she has in the municipality or region from which he or she came.

Temporaryappointmentsmustbeinwritingandincludeinformation on the ACO’s compensation, insurance, and use of equipment, if any.

The chief elected officials of the affected municipalities and the affected regional facilities must all approve of the temporary appointment.

The agriculture commissioner must be notified in writing of a temporary appointment within five days after the appointment is made.

(Presumably, the officials and facility operators provide this notice.) sHB6504 / File No.

751 25 sHB6504 File No.

751 § 6 — REGIONAL ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITIES By law, any two or more towns with populations of less than 50,000 may share a regional pound and be served by a regional ACO.

Under current law, the towns’ legislative bodies must approve the regional pound.

The bill instead specifies that if there is a board of selectmen or town council, then it approves the regional pound.

Otherwise, approval lies with a town’s governing body.

The bill also requires regional pounds to meet the same construction, maintenance, and sanitation standards as municipal pounds must under state law and regulations.

§ 8 — ANIMAL SHELTERS AND ANIMAL IMPORTERS Veterinary Services Required The bill extends to animal shelter operators or maintainers the requirement that animal importers have dogs and cats examined by a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours of the animals entering the state and every 90 days thereafter until the animals are sold, adopted, or otherwise transferred.

The shelter or importer cannot transfer an animal unless a veterinarian (1) examined it within 15 days before the transfer and (2) issued a written certificate of health that includes the shelter’s or importer’s name, address, and contact information.

Under current law, an animal importer who violates these requirements is subject to a fine of up to $500 for each animal in violation.

The bill instead subjects an animal importer or animal shelter operator or maintainer to a $250 fine per animal for a first violation and $500 fine per animal for subsequent violations.

Record Maintenance The bill also requires animal shelter operators or maintainers to keep records of veterinary services rendered to each dog or cat it imported into the state for three years.

Existing law requires the same of animal importers.

Under current law, an animal importer who does not maintain the sHB6504 / File No.

751 26 sHB6504 File No.

751 records as required is subject to a $500 fine.

The bill instead subjects an animal importer or animal shelter operator or maintainer who violates this provision to a $250 fine for a first violation and $500 fine for subsequent violations.

§ 9 — WAIVER FOR A RABIES QUARANTINE PERIOD REDUCTION The bill requires the agriculture commissioner to develop a waiver request process and form for an animal’s owner, keeper, or veterinarian to request a reduction of a rabies quarantine period from six months to four months.

Thisappliesto ananimalthat wasattackedandpotentially exposed to rabies and only if the owner, keeper, or veterinarian submits proof with the request that the animal was vaccinated against rabies within 96 hours after the attack.

The commissioner must post the waiver request process and form on the agriculture department’s website and make them publicly available and accessible as well as known to veterinarians in Connecticut.

§§ 10 & 11 — ANIMAL POPULATION CONTROL PROGRAM (APCP) The Department of Agriculture’s APCP (1) provides low-income Connecticut residents discounted sterilization and vaccination options for their dogs and cats and (2) assists registered nonprofit rescue groups with the sterilization and vaccination of feral cats.

The agriculture commissionerusesanestablishedanimalpopulationcontrolaccountfor the APCP costs.

The account funds come from a surcharge on dog licenses, certain animal adoption fees for pounds’ unsterilized cats and dogs, and proceeds from commemorative APCP “Caring for Pets” license plates.

The bill increases, from 10% to 20%, the maximum amount of the animalpopulationcontrolaccountfundsthat maybeusedforsterilizing and vaccinating feral cats under the APCP.

It also updates the reimbursement amount paid to veterinarians participating in the APCP.

Under current law, a veterinarian receives, per sterilization, $120 for a female dog, $100 for a male dog, $70 for a female cat, and $50 for a male cat.

The bill instead requires the sHB6504 / File No.

751 27 sHB6504 File No.

751 agriculture commissioner to establish a reimbursement rate that is up to 75% of the market rate or fee charged by veterinarians in Connecticut as of October 31, 2021.

When services to be performed include both sterilization and vaccination, the bill requires the reimbursement to be the amount designated for sterilization plus $30, instead of $20 as under current law.

§ 12 — VETERINARIAN PRACTICE Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship The bill requires a Connecticut-licensed veterinarian, in order to practice veterinary medicine on an animal, to establish a veterinarian- client-patient relationship with the animal and the animal’s owner or caretaker.

However, it allows a licensed veterinarian, in good faith, to provide emergency or urgent care to an animal without having this relationship if the animal’s owner or caretaker is unidentifiable.

Under the bill, a veterinarian establishes a veterinarian-client-patient relationship when the following conditions are met:

1.

the veterinarian has assumed the responsibility of making medical judgements about the animal’s health and the need for providing medical care or treatment to the animal, and has provided instruction to the animal’s owner or caretaker on the same;

2.

the veterinarian has sufficient knowledge of the animal to make a preliminary or general diagnosis of the animal;

3.

the animal’s owner or caretaker has agreed to follow the veterinarian’s recommendations about the animal’s medical care or treatment;

4.

the veterinarian is available for follow-up evaluation of the animal or has arranged for (a) emergency or urgent care or (b) continuing treatment by another licensed veterinarian who can access the animal’s medical records or provide reasonable and appropriate care;

sHB6504 / File No.

751 28 sHB6504 File No.

751 5.

the veterinarian oversees the animal’s medical care or treatment;

and 6.

the veterinarian has performed a physical examination of the animal or is personally acquainted with the keeping and care of the animal by providing care to another animal kept at the same location.

The bill specifies that a veterinarian-client-patient relationship may not be established solely through veterinary telemedicine.

Veterinary Telemedicine The bill defines “veterinary telemedicine” as the exchange of medical information about an animal’s health or delivery of a medical diagnosis, care, or treatment of an animal through electronic means, including by telephone, video, mobile apps, or an Internet website-based platform.

Once a veterinary-client-patient relationship is established, the bill allows the veterinarian to maintain that relationship through veterinary telemedicine in between medically necessary examinations of the animal or timely visits by the veterinarian to where the animal is kept.

If there is no veterinarian-client-patient relationship, the bill permits a veterinarian to provide only general advice using electronic means and prohibits him or her from providing specific advice, including a diagnosis or recommended care or treatment, for the animal.

BACKGROUND Related Bill sHB 6318 (File 119), favorably reported by the Human Services Committee and passed by the House, makes changes throughout the general statutes with respect to service animals, including aligning state law with the federal definition.
