Senate Floor Amendments of 8/12/08 name the bill the
"California Responsible pet Ownership Act;" delete
complaints as the trigger for citations and civil penalties
and instead substitute the intact status of an unlicensed
dog or cat as the trigger for citations and civil
penalties; impose civil penalties on the owner of an
at-large, intact dog, even if the animal is licensed;
require local enforcers to give the animal owner's written
notice about the consequences of violating the law; change
the civil penalties by requiring microchipping on the
second offense; specify when a local animal control agency
must (and may) waive the fines; change the method of
counting time from business days to calendar days; exempt
out-of-state dogs and cats, exempt certain dogs and cats
from microchipping and spaying or neutering; and require
local officials to discount dog and cat licenses to or
less if the animal has been microchipped, or less if the
animal has been spayed or neutered, or less if the animal
has been spayed or neutered and microchipped.
ANALYSIS : State law requires animal control agencies and
shelters to spay or neuter the dogs and cats that they sell
or give away. For dogs and cats that are injured or too
sick to be spayed or neutered, state law requires the
adopter to agree to have the animal sterilized at a later
date and pay a sterilization deposit. State law requires
fines for the owners of nonspayed or neutered dogs and cats
that are impounded:
1.First occurrence: $35.
2.Second occurrence: $50.
3.Third and subsequent occurrences: $100.
The funds must be spent for humane education, spaying and
neutering, and administrative costs (AB 1856 [Vincent],
Chapter 747, Statutes of 1998 and SB 1301 [Vincent],
Chapter 253, Statutes of 2004).
The Legislature has declared that the overpopulation of
dogs and cats is "a problem of great public concern,"
noting that overpopulation causes public health problems,
affecting local animal control departments, and results in

euthanizing too many cats and dogs (AB 1856 [Vincent],
Chapter 747, Statutes of 1998).
Local animal shelters must care for stray and impounded
dogs and cats for six days before euthanizing them (SB 1785
[Hayden], Chapter 752, Statutes of 1998). In 2008-09,
local governments claimed about $23 million for the costs
of this state mandated local program. The Department of
Public Health (DPH) tracks local shelter statistics by
requiring local officials to report rabies cases.
Officials regulate dogs and cats under a mix of state laws
and local ordinances. Some cities and counties have
ordinances that require owners to spay or neuter their cats
and dogs. State law allows cities and counties to adopt
programs to control dangerous dogs that are more
restrictive than state law, but these local ordinances
can't be breed specific. However, local officials can
adopt breed-specific ordinances for their mandatory spay or
neuter programs and breeding requirements (SB 861 [Speier],
Chapter 668, Statutes of 2005).
This bill enacts the "California Responsible Pet Ownership
Act."
Citations and Penalties . This bill specifies that a person
who owns a dog or cat that is not licensed (or is
improperly licensed) and that has not been spayed or
neutered may be cited and, if cited, must pay civil
penalties. A person who owns an intact, property licensed
dog or cat that is at large may be cited and, if cited,
must pay civil penalties.
For dogs, this bill specifies these civil penalties:
1.First occurrence: $50.
2.Second occurrence for the same dog: $100 and
microchipping the dog, with the owner paying for the
procedure's cost.
3.Third occurrence for the same dog: spaying or neutering
the dog, with the owner paying for the procedure's cost.

For cats, this bill specifies these civil penalties:
1.First occurrence: $50 and microchipping the cat, with
the owner paying for the procedure's cost.
2.Second occurrence for the same cat: spaying or neutering
the cat with the owner paying for the procedure's cost.
Information . When issuing a citation, this bill requires
the local animal control agency to give the animal's owner
information about the availability of spaying and neutering
services. Further, this bill requires the local animal
control agency to give the animal's owner written notice of
the civil penalties for the second and third citation,
including microchipping and spaying or neutering the
animal.
Penalty Payments . This bill requires the animal's owner to
pay the civil penalty within 30 calendar days. This bill
requires the local animal control agency to waive the civil
penalty if, within 14 calendar days, the animal's owner
presents written proof from a veterinarian that the animal
was spayed or neutered. This bill requires the local
animal control agency to waive at least $30 of the civil
penalty for the first occurrence (and may waive the entire
$50) if the owner voluntarily microchips the intact dog.
Exemptions . This bill exempts from its provisions an
animal owner who is not a California resident if the owner
provides proof that the animal is temporarily in California
for training, showing, or another lawful reason. This bill
exempts an animal from microchipping and spaying or
neutering, if the owner provides a California
veterinarian's detailed letter stating that the animal's
age, poor health, or illness makes the procedure unsafe.
Local Ordinances . This bill allows local officials to
adopt more restrictive ordinances or penalties.
Impounded Animals . For the owners of impounded, nonspayed
or unneutered dogs, this bill increases the existing fines:
1.First occurrence: from $35 to $50.
CONTINUED

2.Second occurrence: from $50 to $100 and microchipping
the dog, with the owner paying for the procedure's cost.
3.Third occurrence: from $100 to mandatory spaying or
neutering the dog, with the owner paying for the
procedure's cost.
For the owners of impounded nonspayed or unneutered cats,
this bill increases the existing fines:
1.First occurrence: from $35 to $50.
2.Second occurrence: from $50 to mandatory spaying or
neutering the cat, with the owner paying for the
procedure's cost.
License Fees . This bill requires local officials to
discount dog and cat licenses to:
1. or less if the animal has been microchipped.
2. or less if the animal has been spayed or neutered.
3. or less if the animal has been spayed or neutered and
microchipped.
Comments
Tackling the problems caused by dog and cat overpopulation
requires the combined efforts of animal owners, pet
breeders, veterinarians, private organizations, local
officials, and state leaders. Many owners and breeders
already control the number and sizes of their animals'
litters. Many veterinarians contribute their services to
free and low-cost spay and neuter programs. Private
organizations actively educate the public about
overpopulation problems and solutions. Local officials
have adopted local ordinances to curb dog and cat
overpopulation. Yet despite these efforts and some
successes, California still endures the problems caused by
overpopulation. This bill confronts the problem of dog and
cat overpopulation by building on the 1998 law that
requires the owners of impounded animals to pay fines if
their pets aren't spayed or neutered. This bill
CONTINUED

complements that 10-year old law by imposing civil
penalties on owners whose animals' behavior generates
complaints.
Owning and caring for dogs and cats is deeply emotional for
many people. Some pet owners resent even the existing
state and local government limits on how they treat their
animals, believing that these decisions are best left to
the owners themselves. Responsible pet owners and breeders
want what's best for their dogs and cats. Although many
owners acknowledge the public health and public finance
problems caused by unregulated pet overpopulation, they
oppose government requirements for spaying or neutering
animals. But not all animal owners are responsible.
Uncontrolled litters result in inappropriate
cross-breeding, feral cats, and unwanted dogs. Those who
fail to take personal responsibility for their animals
create expensive problems for all taxpayers. This bill
offers local officials the state law they need to focus
attention on the dogs and cat that don't behave.
For at least 50 years, the State of California has required
local health departments to submit regular reports on cases
of rabies among animals. The Veterinary Public Health
Section of DPH collects these data into statewide reports.
The state's reporting forms are so detailed that state
officials can track the population of dogs and cats in
local animal shelters. However, the results are reliable
only if all counties report on time. To improve data
collection, this bill postpones paying local officials for
their costs of the state mandated longer shelter stays
until county health officials comply with the long-standing
reporting requirement. With better data, the public can
track the effectiveness of this bill.
ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to California Taxpayers
for Safe and Healthy Pets, "Roaming animals create untold
numbers of accidental pregnancies. According to the
Department of Public Health, over 800,000 dogs and cats are
abandoned annually in our state; this costs taxpayers over
$250 million each year. Over half of these pets, 400,000
of
them, are not adopted and thus are euthanized at taxpayer
expense. Unaltered dogs are three times more likely to

bite, and almost 40,000 people in California are attacked
and bitten by dogs and cats each year. Children are the
most common victims.
"AB 1634 is a common sense tool that allows law enforcement
to target roaming animals, prevent unplanned animal litters
and reduce animal attacks. The law requires the owner of a
nonspayed or unneutered dog or cat to be cited for being
intact, if the animal is the subject of a valid complaint
indicating that the owner has violated state or local
animal control laws. At
any occurrence, the penalty is waived if the animal is
spayed or neutered.
"Current state law already provides additional fines for
the owners of impounded nonspayed or unneutered animals.
AB 1634 increases existing fines, and adds a spay or neuter
requirement for the small number of animals subject to
repeated animal control action."

California Taxpayers for Safe and Healthy Pets believe that
the new law is similar to existing laws in other states,
providing an additional tool for law enforcement to deal
with animals and owners who repeatedly violate state and
local laws.

They contend that this bill does not apply to animals that
are caught up in "neighbor disputes" or are the subject of
unwarranted complaints, and does not apply to violations
related to excessive noise such as dog barking.
They further contend that animals cited under the
provisions of AB 1634 are accorded the exact same due
process and appeals rights granted to them for any
violation of state or local animal control laws.
ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSITION : The opposition argues that this
bill requires that all dogs be spayed or neutered. It
makes no exceptions for young puppies, sick dogs, breeding
stock, police dogs, service dogs, dogs visiting from out of
state. Under this bill every dog and cat in the state must
be spayed or neutered or the owner can be cited for any
complaint regardless of the truth of the complaint.
Opponents argue that this bill will not significantly lower
shelter numbers or sheltering costs because it will be
costly for local governments to administer. They are
concerned that the bill does not address the health
considerations associated with spaying and neutering
animals at an early age, especially affecting the long-term
health of working breeds or any dog that participates in
working or athletic events. Some points to the opposition
include (1) shelter euthanasia will increase for a few
years as people give up their pets they can't afford to
spay or neuter, (2) licensing rates and vaccinations will
decrease as people "hide" from the legislation, (3) revenue
from licensing and vaccination programs will decline, (4)
small breeders will vanish from the open market immediately
to save their breeds from extinction in California, (5) dog
and Cat shows and events will fade away, taking with them
with the significant tourism revenue generated by these
events, (6) commercial breeding, puppy smuggling from
abroad will increase resulting in unhealthy, poor quality
pet populations, (7) enforcement of this law is impractical
so accidental litter rates will decline only slowly and 8)
Feral cat populations will be largely unaffected.
