unlawful sale; animals

SB 1675 prohibits selling, advertising, or displaying animals on public highways, streets, parks, or private commercial property without the owner's permission. It directly affects individuals or vendors who attempt such sales in these locations, with exceptions for pet stores, animal shelters, rescues, and events like county fairs. Violations carry a $50 civil penalty for first offenses, escalating to a class 1 misdemeanor for repeat violations. The law defines "animal" broadly to include mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. It amends Arizona law to clarify restrictions on public animal sales while allowing established animal welfare and agricultural activities to continue.
