Summary

The bill creates a new chapter in the state health code that stops Commonwealth money from funding painful animal experiments, requires facilities that use dogs or cats to offer surviving animals for adoption, and makes it illegal to sell cosmetics that were tested on animals after 2027. It also sets reporting, record‑keeping, and whistle‑blower rules for labs, kennels, and dealers, and gives the Attorney General enforcement authority. The measure aims to reduce animal cruelty while providing transparency and consumer protection.
