This bill amends the Code of Iowa to prohibit counties and cities from imposing fees for obtaining pet licenses. Specifically, it adds new subsections to Section 331.301 and Section 364.3, stating that neither a county nor a city shall adopt or enforce any ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment that would require a fee for pet licensing.

The intent of the bill is to eliminate financial barriers for pet owners seeking to license their animals, thereby promoting responsible pet ownership and ensuring that more pets are registered. By removing the ability of local governments to charge for pet licenses, the legislation aims to simplify the licensing process and encourage compliance among pet owners.
