A 8653: Relates to pet breeders; repealer

This bill amends definitions in New York's General Business Law regarding pet dealers, brokers, and retail pet shops. It clarifies that "pet dealer" excludes animal shelters, humane societies, rescue organizations, and public animal care authorities - allowing them to continue adoptions without being classified as dealers. It also defines "broker" as entities facilitating dog/cat/rabbit sales between breeders and buyers, and specifies that retail pet shops cannot sell or transfer dogs/cats/rabbits directly (though they may host shelter animals for adoption). The changes primarily affect small-scale breeders selling from home, pet shops, and animal welfare organizations by updating regulatory boundaries.
