Introduced by Assembly Member Maienschein

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1809, as introduced, Maienschein. Dog breeders: records.

Existing law, the Polanco-Lockyer Pet Breeder Warranty Act, generally regulates purchases between dog breeders and consumers. The act requires a dog breeder to maintain a written record on, among other things, the health, status, and disposition of each dog for a period of one year after disposition of the dog.

This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those record-keeping provisions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.
