Animals: animal shelters; cross-references to 1969 PA 287 in the large carnivore act; update. Amends sec. 2 of 2000 PA 274 (MCL 287.1102).

This bill amends the definitions within Michigan's Large Carnivore Act to ensure consistency with other state animal laws. It specifically updates the legal descriptions for terms such as "animal control officer," "animal control shelter," and "permitting agency" to align them with existing statutes like the Dog Law of 1919 and the Animal Industry Act. The legislation also clarifies definitions for "large carnivore," "livestock," and various law enforcement roles to provide clearer guidance for those regulating and managing large predators. Ultimately, the bill aims to correct cross-references in the law without changing the core requirements or penalties for keeping large carnivores.
