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 is intended to ensure the health and safety of pets and promote responsible pet ownership by ensuring that animals are vaccinated before they are placed in new homes.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the obligation of these businesses and entities to carry out mandatory vaccinations, thereby enhancing public health measures related to pet ownership. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating a straightforward addition of requirements for pet stores, shelters, and breeders.
