Summary

The bill lets law‑enforcement, animal‑control officers and firefighters enter a locked, unattended vehicle to remove a pet that is at risk of heat‑related injury, and gives private citizens limited authority to do the same under strict conditions. Those who act are immune from criminal and civil liability, must leave a notice, and must deliver the animal to a veterinary clinic. Owners can reclaim their pets only after paying all care and impound costs.
