MODERATE

The bill was amended to include the Senate's version, which adds stricter disqualifying criteria for commercial pet breeder licenses. Specifically, it now bars applicants convicted of certain felonies or those with a history of violating animal shelter laws more than three times. It also clarifies that license numbers must appear in both advertisements and sales contracts.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding who can obtain a license was narrowed by adding new criminal and administrative disqualifiers.

ELIGIBILITY

Added new grounds for denying a license, including convictions for specific felonies and repeated violations of the Commercial Pet Breeders and Animal Shelter Licensing Act.

REQUIREMENT

Reaffirmed the requirement to display license numbers on advertisements and contracts, while the Senate version added specific examples of what constitutes an advertisement.

ENFORCEMENT

Maintained the authority of the Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry to deny, revoke, or renew licenses based on the new standards.

TECHNICAL

Changed the header from 'House Floor Version' to 'Senate Floor Version' and updated the committee report attribution.
