AB 2954, as introduced, Wendy Carrillo. Animals at large: civil penalties.

Existing law requires the Attorney General, upon complaint by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, and authorizes the Attorney General upon their own initiative, to bring action for civil penalties against any person violating certain provisions of the Food and Agricultural Code relating to animals.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
