AN ACT CONCERNING THE BREEDING OF ANIMALS IN THE STATE.

HB 5902 requires all individuals and businesses breeding animals - including birds and reptiles - to register with the state Department of Agriculture. The bill mandates the Department to establish breeding guidelines, create a public breeder registry, collect registration fees, and conduct annual inspections of registered breeders. This regulation directly affects animal breeders and commercial breeding operations across the state. The law aims to standardize oversight of animal breeding practices under state authority.
