Animal control officers; obstruction. Clarifies the role of animal control officers in light of two changes made to criminal procedure statutes during the 2009 Session of the General Assembly. First, the provision in Title 3.2 is conformed with existing Title 18.2 to show that the heightened penalty for obstructing an animal control officer in the performance of his duties was increased from a Class 4 misdemeanor to a Class 1 misdemeanor. Second, Title 19.2 is amended to show that animal control officers may obtain a felony warrant from a magistrate, as stated in §3.2-6555, although a law-enforcement officer must execute such warrant.

Animal control officers; magistrate to issue arrest warrant for complaint for felony offense.
