The bill also requires a pet animal owner to designate a caregiver for the owner’s pet animal. The caregiver is responsible for the care and safekeeping of the pet animal during an emergency that incapacitates the pet animal owner.
First responders will use the system to identify the designated caregiver of the pet animal and notify the caregiver of the incapacitation of the pet animal’s owner. A caregiver must agree to be responsible for the pet animal. If a caregiver later refuses to take custody of the pet animal or cannot be located, a first responder will place the pet animal in an animal shelter. Only first responders and the department of public health and environment are allowed to use the system.
The bill specifies that to own a pet animal without registering the pet animal; to refuse or fail to comply with the provisions of the bill; to make a material misstatement in a registration application, a registration renewal application, or to the department of agriculture; or to refuse or fail to comply with any rules or regulations adopted by the commissioner is unlawful. An unlawful act is punishable by a civil penalty in an amount set by the commissioner but not to exceed $100 per unlawful act. If the commissioner is unable to collect the civil penalty, the commissioner may sue to recover the civil penalty or refuse to renew a registration.
Next up...farmers, circuses and zoos.
He sounds like a candidate whose name should not be allowed on a ballot.
Intrusive state getting more into peoples lives and wallets under the guise of caring and compassion
If it moves tax it. 😉
The Morks and Fonzis took over
And we keep voting these idiots in.........
Esposito: "From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!"Of course there was this announcement from the Bee a couple weeks ago discussed here on FR...
NYC Mandates All Pizza Must Be Cooked Under A Bathroom Hand DryerColorado needs to get out front on these things!
They tax everything else, why the heck not?
Governments are slowly taking away all our rights one step at a time. How in the world did Americans get to the point that we have allowed government officials and politicians to become dictators?
That has to be one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard.
Holy crap.
Sorry to say that I have one California relative that fits that description exactly.
Looks like Colorado is trying to out-stupid California.
I’m one of the a-holes who now has 5 rescue pets, thereby easing the burden of shelters and feral populations. This token can suck it, even if they do pass it.
Well this is the biggest BS statement in the entire bill, “a first responder will place the pet animal in an animal shelter.”
We all know that COPS are First Responders and COPS get their jollies shooting dogs. No cop will put the poor dog in a shelter. Shooting it is easier. They will just say it was vicious.
Dogs know who intends them harm.
And if it doesn’t move, tax it too.
There are some people out there that their dog IS their only friend. And who the hell is this dingbat to tell people that only police and dog catchers can use animal shelters.
Damned democrats.
I have an idea for a new tax on all politicians.......
The Basstids gotta inject themselves into every single aspect of a person’s personal life any way possible.
Tell em to go ESAD.
Oh....and FJB
Great. Force people to abandon their animals.
Why do tyrants always hate (the people’s) pets?
