Establishes micro shelters for animals and outlines minimum requirements for those shelters to operate

HB 2527 creates a new category called "micro shelter" for small animal rescue organizations that house ten or fewer animals at any given time. These small shelters are exempt from the state's standard licensure and inspection requirements, though they must still register annually with the state director at no cost. The bill also clarifies definitions for various animal-related terms and exempts hobby breeders from licensing rules while requiring them to register for free. Additionally, the legislation establishes specific standards for what constitutes adequate food, water, and housing for animals in regulated facilities.
