This bill establishes a committee tasked with studying the regulation of private animal boarding facilities. The committee will consist of three members: one appointed by the president of the senate and two appointed by the speaker of the house of representatives. Members will receive mileage compensation at the legislative rate for their duties. The committee's responsibilities include reviewing existing laws and regulations related to private animal boarding, identifying licensing processes and incident reporting mechanisms, pinpointing any regulatory gaps, and gathering testimony from relevant stakeholders.
The committee is required to elect a chairperson and hold its first meeting within 30 days of the bill's effective date, which is upon passage. A quorum will consist of two members. The committee must report its findings and any legislative recommendations to key government officials by November 1, 2025. The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions regarding the establishment and operation of the committee.
