Summary

The bill replaces the term “pet dealer” with “pet breeder,” defining a pet breeder as anyone who raises and sells more than 25 dogs, cats, or rabbits a year from their own premises. It removes several existing provisions, updates the definition of “consumer,” and clarifies which entities—such as shelters and rescue groups—are exempt from the new rules. The changes aim to better regulate commercial breeding and protect consumers.
