heartworm prevention; and
WHEREAS, National and local animal welfare
organizations, animal shelters, animal control agencies,
veterinarians, and others engaged in the care and
feeding of pets will join together to advocate for “Pet Care

(1) The temporary shelter is established to provide care
and shelter to animals displaced by a state of emergency,
as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 8558 of the
Government Code, only provides care and shelter to
those animals, and, if possible, is located near an
American Red Cross shelter, or other equivalent shelter,
that houses persons displaced by the state of emergency.
(2) The temporary shelter is operated by either of the
following:

As introduced in Assembly, May 20, 2015, this urgency bill
would make wording changes to Penal Code Section 597
(a,) (b,) (c,) (e,) (f,) (h) and add a subsection (2) to PC 597
(d):
(2) (A) A person who violates subdivision (a), (b), or (c)
shall, in addition to the fines imposed pursuant to
paragraph (1), be punished by a fine of not more than five
thousand dollars ($5,000) for each violation.
(B) The fines required by subparagraph (A) shall be
deposited into the Victims of Animal Abuse Fund, which is
hereby established in the State Treasury. For purposes of
this paragraph, “fund” means the Victims of Animal Abuse
Fund.
(C) The Veterinary Medical Board shall administer the
fund consistent with this paragraph. Notwithstanding
Section 13340 of the Government Code, all money
deposited in the fund is hereby continuously appropriated
to the Veterinary Medical Board, without regard to fiscal
years, for the purposes of this paragraph.
(D) Except as provided in subparagraph (E), the
Veterinary Medical Board shall use the money in the fund
to compensate the owner or caretaker, including a
nonprofit organization, of an animal that requires medical
care, rehabilitation, or recovery as a result of a violation of
subdivision (a), (b), or (c) for the costs incurred by the
owner or caretaker for the animal’s medical care,
rehabilitation, or recovery.
(E) (i) If the owner or caretaker of an animal that requires
medical care, rehabilitation, or recovery as a result of a
violation of subdivision (a), (b), or (c) is the person who
violated any of those subdivisions, the owner or caretaker
shall not receive money from the fund, and instead,
money in the fund may be used to compensate another
person, including a nonprofit organization, who incurs
costs for the animal’s medical care, rehabilitation, or
recovery.
(ii) If an animal that requires medical care, rehabilitation,
or recovery as a result of a violation of subdivision (a), (b),
or (c) has no identifiable owner or caretaker, money in the
fund may be used to compensate a person, including a
nonprofit organization, who incurs costs for the animal’s
medical care, rehabilitation, or recovery.
(F) The Veterinary Medical Board may promulgate
regulations to implement this paragraph.
(3) (A) Except as provided in subdivision (h), a person
who violates subdivision (a), (b), or (c) in a rehabilitative
facility for animals shall, in addition to any other penalty
provided by law, pay for and successfully complete an
appropriate counseling course, as determined by the
court, designed to evaluate and treat behavior or conduct
disorders. If the court finds that a defendant is financially
unable to pay for that counseling, the court may develop a
sliding fee schedule based upon the defendant’s ability to
pay. An indigent defendant may negotiate a deferred
payment schedule, but shall pay a nominal fee if the
defendant has the ability
to pay the nominal fee. If an indigent defendant cannot
pay the nominal fee, the fee shall be waived.
(B) For purposes of this paragraph, “rehabilitative facility
for animals” means a facility at which medical care or
rehabilitative services are provided to animals, including,
but not limited to, animal sanctuary, animal shelter, or an
aquarium.
Amended in Assembly, June 23, 2015 to delete creation
of a Fund and substitute, "paid to the local public animal
control agency that has jurisdiction in the location where
the violation was committed." Moneys would be spent as
previously specified. Also adds, "However, if the
Commission on State Mandates determines that this act
contains other costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for
those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7
(commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2
of the Government Code."
