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 may deteriorate due to cruelty. This act allows officers to transfer the temporary custody of these animals to appropriate facilities, ensuring their safety and well-being.

Additionally, the bill permits law enforcement to use the condition of other animals owned by the same individual as evidence when determining the necessity of securing a specific dog or cat. This legislative change is intended to enhance the protection of animals and provide law enforcement with the necessary authority to act in cases of suspected cruelty.
