The proposed legislation, known as the "Dog and Cat Rescue Act: Daisy's Law," aims to amend existing laws regarding animal cruelty in Arkansas. It introduces new provisions that empower law enforcement officers to temporarily secure dogs and cats in situations where there is a substantial likelihood that the animals' conditions would worsen if not intervened. This act establishes a framework for the temporary custody of these animals, allowing officers to transfer them to appropriate facilities for their care.

Additionally, the bill allows law enforcement to consider the conditions of other animals owned by the same individual as evidence when determining whether to secure a specific dog or cat. This provision is intended to enhance the protection of animals in potentially abusive situations and ensure their welfare is prioritized. Overall, the legislation seeks to strengthen the state's response to animal cruelty and improve the safety and well-being of dogs and cats.
