AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF DOGS FOR THE TESTING OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS NOT INTENDED FOR DOGS.

HB 6284 bans the use of dogs to test consumer products that are not intended for canine use, such as shampoos, lotions, or cosmetics. It directly affects manufacturers of human consumer products by prohibiting them from conducting safety or efficacy tests on dogs for these items. The bill's key provision is a clear prohibition against using dogs for such testing, replacing current practices where dogs might be used. This change would require companies to seek alternative testing methods for human-use products, aligning with broader animal welfare standards.
