Sir and Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2725, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ANIMALS,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this bill is to sufficiently preserve the health and well-being of a pet animal by:

 

     (1)  Establishing a definition of a primary pet enclosure; and

 

     (2)  Amending the definition of "necessary sustenance" to include a broader range of care needed for the adequate care of pet animals.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

 

(1)  Adding a purpose section;

 

(2)  Clarifying that the definition of "primary pet enclosure" is not meant to refer to enclosures used for animals raised for meat or egg production;

 

(3)  Changing the effective date to January 1, 2011; and

 

(4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2725, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2725, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
