An Act to protect animal health
HD 2126 requires certain nonprofit animal welfare organizations to annually report the number and origin of dogs and cats they place in the state. Specifically, it applies to tax-exempt groups (501(c)(3) or equivalent) whose main work is placing abandoned or neglected animals but who aren't already licensed under existing animal welfare laws. The bill mandates these groups to report the state or country of origin for each animal, including transport details, using a form approved by the state director. This is a tracking requirement focused on data collection, not a direct change to animal care standards.
