Modifies standards in regards to animal care

HB 2813 establishes new standards for the care of dogs bred in large-scale operations, specifically targeting owners who keep more than ten female dogs for breeding and selling their offspring as pets. The bill requires these facilities to provide basic necessities such as food, water, veterinary care, adequate shelter, sufficient space to move, regular exercise, rest between breeding cycles, and daily socialization with humans and other dogs. It also sets specific limits on breeding frequency, prohibiting female dogs from having more than two litters in an eighteen-month period or more than six litters in their lifetime, while mandating that retired breeding dogs be placed in humane homes rather than sold at auction or to other breeders. Additionally, the legislation strengthens enforcement by requiring state veterinarians to conduct annual inspections, share violation records with law enforcement within 24 hours, and allowing for the temporary or permanent banning of operators who pose a substantial risk to animal welfare.
