Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 243, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ANIMAL CRUELTY,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this bill is to address the inhumane conditions of the feral cat and stray dog population by prohibiting pet retailers from selling unsterilized cats or dogs.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Limiting the definition of an unsterilized cat or dog to a cat or dog that has not been spayed or neutered by a licensed veterinarian; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 243, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 243, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
