AI Summary

  • Removes the requirement that dog licensing periods align with rabies revaccination schedules, allowing counties to set independent licensing periods.

  • Replaces "class 2 misdemeanor" with "petty offense" for unlicensed dogs, with fines not exceeding $25, and removes the 15-day written notification requirement before enforcement action.

  • Allows rabies vaccination information to be submitted online through county websites and removes the prior requirement that dogs must be vaccinated before licensing.

  • Adds search and rescue dogs to the exemption from quarantine requirements if they have current anti-rabies vaccination, allowing them to be placed under working quarantine instead of standard confinement.

  • Clarifies that dogs and cats bitten while unvaccinated must be confined in facilities prescribed by county enforcement agents, while vaccinated animals may be confined at the owner's home with county approval.
