Relates to microchipping of certain animals possessed by animal protective associations and rescue organizations

Summary

The bill lets nonprofit animal shelters, rescue agencies and municipal shelters that are tax‑exempt and registered with the state to implant microchips in any dog or cat they care for, unless the animal already has one. It also requires these groups to keep the microchip’s contact information current, including details of the organization, adopters and owners of lost animals. This aims to improve animal identification and reunification.
