This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new article, Article 2.1, which specifically addresses regulations for domestic companion animal breeders. Under the new provisions, breeders who sell domestic companion animals will be required to pay a transaction privilege tax and must provide a valid certificate of veterinary inspection for each animal sold. Additionally, breeders are mandated to maintain safe and healthy living conditions for the animals and are expected to follow safe breeding practices, including humane placement or euthanasia when necessary.

The bill also introduces penalties for non-compliance, imposing a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for violations of these regulations. Definitions are provided for key terms such as "breeder," which includes hobby breeders, "consumer or purchaser," and "domestic companion animal," clarifying the scope of the law. Overall, the bill aims to enhance consumer protection and animal welfare standards in the breeding industry.
