Summary
The bill repeals a mistakenly retained statute and amends several other statutes so they reflect the correct, previously‑adopted language. It also revises the unlawful animal‑ownership provisions, setting time‑based bans and a restoration process for people convicted of animal cruelty, fighting, or bestiality. The changes aim to align the law with the state constitution and eliminate conflicting legal text.
