As introduced, AB 2132 would require minimum 8-1/2 x 11” no-
trespassing signs; permit a person to enter another’s land with
oral consent of owner/agent; would make it unlawful for a person
to remove any collar from a hunting dog with the intent to prevent
or hinder the owner from locating the dog; and permit the use of
one dog per hunter, for the purpose of tracking and locating a
dead or wounded deer, in every area where a deer may lawfully
be taken during archery season. Any person convicted for
removing a collar would pay the dog owner restitution of the
actual value of the dog as well as any lost breeding revenues.
(Fish & Game Code)
As amended in Assembly (Public Safety) March 11. 2008, the
oral consent provision was deleted as was the one dog per
hunter, but the Fish & Game Commission would be required to
consider adopting regulations that permit, during archery
season, the use of one dog per hunter to aid in the recovery of
deer.

As introduced, AB 2949 would provide that an involuntary deposit
is made by the abandonment or leaving of a live animal in or
about any premises or real property that has been vacated upon,
or immediately preceding, the termination of a lease or other
rental agreement or foreclosure of the property; and authorize
any person or private entity with whom a live animal is
involuntarily deposited to immediately transfer the animal to any
animal control agency or shelter for proper care and attention, or
to notify animal control officials for the purpose of retrieving the
animal.
Amended in Senate, April 22, 2008 to require the recipient of an
involuntary deposit to notify animal control to retrieve the animal
and giving AC right to a lien. This increases state mandated
duties of AC and provides if the Commission on State Mandates
determines the ensuing statute contains state mandated costs,
these would be subject to statutory reimbursement. Also adds
reference to Penal Code 597.1 to definition of "involuntary
deposit"
Assembly Committee on Judiciary, Policy Analysis, April 29, 2008
Additional clarifying amendment to be taken, "The person in
possession of the abandoned animal is subject to all local
ordinances and state laws that govern the proper care and
treatment of those animals."
Amended in Assembly, May 6, 2008 adds to amendment of Civil
Code Sec. 1816 "(d) The person in possession of the
abandoned animal is subject to all local ordinances and state
laws that govern the proper care and treatment of those animals."
Amended in Assembly, May 12, 2008 deletes reference to
increased duties for animal control officers and eliminates any
reimbursable state mandate costs.

Senate Judiciary Analysis, June 24, 2008

the successor property owner shall not be considered the
keeper of the animal or the agent of the animal's owner as those
terms are used in Section 597.1 of the Penal Code."
