Summary

The measure rewrites parts of the Animal Care Facilities Act so that hobby or show breeders are classified as commercial breeders. Although they are no longer excluded from the definition, the bill still exempts them from licensing and inspection, requiring only an annual, free registration. The change is intended to improve tracking of breeding activities without adding new regulatory burdens.
