The bill SB1133 proposes to appropriate $450,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2024 to the Spaying and Neutering of Animals Fund. This fund is designed to support programs aimed at reducing pet overpopulation by providing sterilization services for dogs and cats at minimal or no cost through qualifying nonprofit organizations and animal control agencies.
The new bill language includes an explicit statement of its purpose, which is to appropriate funds to the spaying and neutering of animals fund, enhancing clarity regarding the intent of the appropriation. There are no deletions from the current law, but the addition of this language emphasizes the bill's focus on animal welfare and the financial support for related initiatives.
