CT SB01282

Establishes a mandatory minimum 4-month quarantine for animals attacked and potentially exposed to rabies, replacing the previous system that required a 6-month quarantine with an optional waiver process

Eliminates the Department of Agriculture's waiver request process that previously allowed reduction from 6 to 4 months if the animal was vaccinated within 96 hours of the attack

Requires owners or keepers to have the exposed animal vaccinated against rabies as soon as medically appropriate

Quarantine must be conducted as directed by a licensed Connecticut veterinarian or the State Veterinarian

Effective immediately upon passage
