LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2265, as introduced, McCarty. Public animal shelters: adoption of dogs by veterans: fee waiver.

Existing law prohibits a public animal shelter from charging an adoption fee for a dog if the person adopting the dog presents to the public animal shelter a current and valid driver’s license or identification card with the word “VETERAN” printed on its face. Existing law authorizes a public animal shelter to limit the number of dogs adopted from that public animal shelter, without charging adoption fees, by eligible veterans to one dog each 6-month period.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the above-described provision.
