MINOR

This bill amendment reorganizes and clarifies the list of animals included in the definition of 'purpose-bred animals' under New York's agriculture and markets law. The change primarily involves reformatting the text for better readability and adding a procedural note indicating the bill was reported back to committee with amendments.

Scope change

The substantive scope of the bill remains unchanged; the amendment only restructures how the list of included animals is presented in the text.

TECHNICAL

Reformatted the list of working dog categories (detection dogs, police work dogs, military dogs, protective security dogs, and working search dogs) for better readability and consistency.

Added a procedural note indicating the bill was reported back to the Agriculture Committee with amendments and ordered reprinted.

Updated the bill number from A3498-A to A3498-B to reflect the amendment version.
