HB 621 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Alter the law governing the regulation of pet stores

HB 621 changes how pet store license fees and penalties are handled. Instead of going to the general state treasury, these funds will now be deposited into a new "pet store license fund" created by the bill. The director of agriculture must use this dedicated fund to administer pet store regulations under the Revised Code. This bill directly affects pet store license holders (who pay the fees) and the state's administrative process for regulating pet stores, without altering the underlying requirements for pet stores.
