Animal testing prohibited under certain circumstances, and civil penalties provided.

This bill prohibits research facilities in Minnesota from conducting specific animal testing procedures that are currently required to be reported to the federal government. It directly affects private and state-owned research facilities but excludes activities mandated by federal law and federal government facilities. The legislation establishes a civil penalty of $10,000 for each animal involved in a violation and allows courts to order defendants to pay the state's legal costs if the violation was willful.
