CA AB253

Amends Penal Code Section 599aa to expand the methods for publishing petitions regarding seized animals in dogfighting cases to include online newspapers, social media outlets belonging to law enforcement or local government entities, and law enforcement internet websites, in addition to traditional print newspapers of general circulation.

Requires petitions to be published for three successive days on the expanded list of platforms rather than solely in a newspaper of general circulation.

Makes minor grammatical and stylistic changes throughout the section, including replacing "any" with "an" in several instances and clarifying language regarding animal euthanization procedures.
