Various animal related matters.

Summary

The bill reduces a rescuer’s financial responsibility when forcibly entering a locked vehicle to save a domestic animal, while setting strict conditions for that immunity. It also expands definitions, raises penalties for animal cruelty, applies cruelty statutes to non‑nuisance rodents, and creates a defense for people who are not involved when a law‑enforcement animal attacks. The changes affect vehicle owners, animal rescuers, law‑enforcement officers, and anyone charged with animal‑related offenses.
