AB346,1,2 1An Act to amend 173.41 (2) (a) (intro.); and to create 173.41 (2) (fm) of the
2statutes; relating to: the licensing requirement for animal control facilities.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires certain persons who sell dogs or operate animal shelters
and all persons who operate animal control facilities to be licensed by the
Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. An animal control
facility is a facility for the care of animals operated under a contract with a city,
village, town, or county (political subdivision). Persons who are required to be
licensed must comply with standards of animal care that are specified in the law.
This bill creates an exception to the licensing requirement for a person who
operates an animal control facility under a contract with one or more political
subdivisions if the animal control facility operates under a kennel license issued by
the political subdivision in which the animal control facility is located.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
