Establishes standards relating to the handling of animals suffering from parvovirus
This bill establishes new rules for licensed animal facilities to manage cases of parvovirus, a contagious disease affecting dogs and other animals. It requires owners to notify state officials immediately upon diagnosis and mandates that infected or exposed animals be isolated from healthy ones while maintaining records of all animal movements and deaths. Additionally, the legislation gives state veterinarians the authority to revoke licenses if a facility poses a significant risk to animal health or public safety due to violations of these protocols.
