Providing for permanent seizures of animals in instances when the owner violates county resolutions and authorizing judges of competent jurisdiction to order such seizures.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows judges to permanently seize animals from owners found guilty of violating county animal welfare laws. If an animal is deemed a threat or likely to be mistreated in the future, a judge can order it not to be returned to the owner. This change would expand the penalties available to courts for enforcing county animal control resolutions.
