An Act establishing a fund for the care of retired police dogs

HD 733 establishes a Retired Police Dog Care Fund within Massachusetts' executive office of public safety. The fund, administered by the Secretary of Public Safety, receives state appropriations, grants, gifts, and investment income, with unspent balances carrying over annually. It provides grants to nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts to cover medical and care expenses for retired police dogs, as defined in existing law. The Secretary must annually report fund activity, including funding sources and expenditures, to relevant state committees.
