The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6242, aims to amend current statutes to mandate that pet stores, animal shelters, and animal breeders perform required vaccinations for dogs and cats that they sell or offer for adoption. This legislation seeks to ensure that all animals provided by these entities are vaccinated, thereby promoting public health and animal welfare.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the obligation of these businesses and entities to carry out the vaccinations, but does not indicate any deletions from existing law. The primary goal of the bill is to enhance the health standards for pets and reduce the risk of disease transmission among animals and humans.
