The Companion Animal Cremation Consumer Protection Act establishes regulations for the cremation services of deceased animals in Pennsylvania. It mandates that providers must offer a written description of their cremation services to animal owners and intermediaries, such as veterinarians and pet shops, ensuring that the information is clear and not misleading. The act outlines specific requirements for the content and distribution of these descriptions, including a detailed explanation of cremation options and a notice of rights for animal owners. Additionally, it sets standards for holding facilities that retain animal remains prior to cremation, emphasizing the health and dignity of the remains.

The bill also includes recordkeeping requirements for providers, necessitating the maintenance of accurate records for each cremation performed, which must be kept for at least five years. Enforcement provisions are established, allowing the Attorney General to address violations under the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, with penalties for non-compliance including potential suspension or revocation of licenses for licensed individuals. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
