Relates to the recovery of a deceased dog or cat on public roads

This bill requires state and municipal officials to make a reasonable effort to identify the owners of deceased dogs or cats found on public roads. Officials must look for identifying marks such as tags or license numbers and then attempt to notify the owner or an animal management service about the animal's death. The law applies to any official who recovers the body of a killed dog or cat and includes a delay of approximately six months before the changes take effect.
