What changed in the latest version
987 added · 983 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of House Bill 1149, two significant changes were made regarding animal welfare standards. First, the language surrounding the requirement for animals to "reasonably clean and maintain a normal body temperature" was clarified, specifically excluding practices related to commercial livestock and poultry. Second, the definition of "necessary space" now emphasizes that animals must have continuous access to an environment that accommodates their exercise, suitable temperature, and proper lighting cycles, ensuring better living conditions. These changes are important as they aim to enhance the overall welfare of animals by clearly defining their needs and setting standards for their care.
