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.
Democrats and communists believe anything and everything belongs to them. On behalf of the public good, of course.
If this passes, how is it going to be enforced? Is the vet going to charge the tax when it’s time for rabies shot?
Demo Rats think people are animals, so can they be pets too?
It probably includes livestock.
I had heard that Coloradans were fiercely independent. I soon found out that if there were any independent Coloradans left in Colorado they kept to themselves and did precious little to oppose the liberal downward spiral.
Already killing off our Farm Animals in their Land Grabs.
An Amish Farmer is raided and Arrested by our government for selling Organic Food. Many people prefer Organic Food as it tastes better, has fewer if any chemicals, and is more Regulated than regular Big Ag crops.

I’d also add in Religious persecution, Amish is after all a Religious group.
Goes back to the Hammonds/Bundys or further. I put in as many links as I could find info.
Good thing he specified “pet animal”. That clears me from declaring my pet rocks. OTOH that jar full of sea monkeys is going to be quite a liability. /S
Next is a tax on houseplants and decorative plants in your yard.
sorry, we lost our beloved cat in a tragic boating accident ...
There already is a TAX on dogs, also known as a Dog License. $25 a year in New York.
they gonna get a court-ordered search warrant for every house to count indoor-only pets, you know, for suspected illegal pets, uh i mean suspected UNDOCUMENTED pets?
Kiss my butt. I’ve taken in many homeless animals at my own expense taking the burden off of taxpaying shelters.
It’s time to wipe that party from the face of the earth once and for all.
We need a new Augusto Pinochet for this day and age.
SHE’S A TRIPLE A.

Last A stands for Asshole.
Californication seem to be the way most of the Western States
are going. I was shocked at how Leftist Montana had become
when I visited there last year. UGH!!!
The Democrats specialty is finding new way for taxing people and then finding new ways to waste it ... and then blame Republicans for the problem ... just like Biden has done with the illegal alien invasion.
Democrats-many evil anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life Individuals in that collective. Ballot box them OUT.
