S.B. 945 Introduced 2/3/2016
|
Bill Monning (D-17) Carmel
Sponsor: State Humane Asn of CA
|
As introduced, SB 945 would add to the Health & Safety Code, Part 6 of Division 105, a new Chapter 11, defining a “Pet boarding facility” as "any lot, building, structure, enclosure, or premises whereupon four or more dogs, cats, or other pets in any combination are boarded for profit." The bill includes responsibilities for operators, structural, maintenance and care standards. Violation is a criminal offense, first violation punishable by fine not over $250 or over $1,000 for subsequent violations. Amended in Senate, March 7, 2016 to reduce the pet boarding facility definition to two or more boarded for "compensation." Numerous provisions are re-written, particularly to include different specified space requirements based on different weight categories of dogs, calculating square footage of spaces and tracking time periods to specified requirements, and numerous other requirements. Amended in Senate, March 29, 2016 to return the definition to four or more, exclude shelters; reduce time in temporary shelter to 4 daytime hours and 12 at night or humane for the animal, whichever is less, and outside for no less time than needed to eliminate; deleted space requirements by dogs' weight; raised individual observation period from every 8 hours to 24 hours; removed time requirements related to water; eliminated requirement to not house a pet alone without written owner consent; other minor changes; and added a new provision, "A person convicted of an infraction, misdemeanor, or felony related to the welfare of animals, including, but not limited to, a violation of Section 597 of the Penal Code, is prohibited from operating a pet boarding facility or from being employed as an employee of a pet boarding facility." Sen Com on Bus, Profs & Econ Dev Policy Analysis, March 31, 2016 Amended in Senate, April 25, 2016 Senate Floor Analysis, May 18, 2016 Amended in Assembly, June 9, 2016 Assembly Com on Bus & Profs Policy Analysis, June 20, 2016 Amended in Assembly, August 1, 2016 to modify and add provisions: * A definition of "enrichment" and a care requirement to based on the new definition rather than the previous enrichment "device." Now: “Enrichment” means providing objects or activities, appropriate to the needs of the species, as well as the age, size, and condition of the pet, that stimulate the pet and promote the pet’s well-being. * Another modification to the operative definition: “Pet boarding facility” means any lot, building, structure, enclosure, or premises, or a portion thereof, whereupon four or more dogs, cats, or other pets in any combination are boarded at the request of, and in exchange for compensation provided by, their owner. However, “pet boarding facility” does not include a city, county, or city and county animal control agency, society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, or humane society that contracts for the care of stray or abandoned animals, or the premises of a veterinary facility that is registered pursuant to Section 4853 of the Business and Professions Code. * Adaptation of the correction and misdemeanor provisions of the Pet Store Animal Care Act (2007 AB 1347, Anna Caballero) to this topic as more appropriate to a business context where administrative licensing is not feasible: “(a) An animal control officer, as defined in Section 830.9 of the Penal Code, a humane officer qualified pursuant to Section 14502 or 14503 of the Corporations Code, or a peace officer who detects a violation of Sections 122380 to 122385, inclusive, if he or she decides the violation warrants formal action, shall issue a single notice to correct that shall contain all of the following information: (1) Specify each violation of this chapter found in the inspection. (2) Identify the corrective action for each violation. (3) Include a specific period of time during which the listed violation or violations are to be corrected. (b) After issuing a notice to correct pursuant to this section, the officer or another qualified officer of the issuing agency shall verify compliance with this chapter by conducting a subsequent investigation of the pet boarding facility within a reasonable period of time. (c) An exact, legible copy of the notice to correct shall be delivered to the pet boarding facility operator at the time he or she signs the notice. In the alternative, the issuing agency may personally deliver the notice to the operator within 48 hours of its issuance, excluding holidays and weekends. The signing of the notice is an acknowledgment of receipt and does not constitute an admission of guilt. (d) A pet boarding facility operator who is verified to have complied with a notice to correct shall not be subject to subdivision (g). (e) A pet boarding facility operator who violates the same provision of this chapter on more than one occasion within a five-year period is not eligible to receive a notice to correct, and is guilty of an infraction on the second violation, and is guilty of a misdemeanor on the third or subsequent violation. (f) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a pet boarding facility operator that causes or allows harm or injury to an animal, or allows an animal to be subject to an unreasonable risk of harm or injury is guilty of a misdemeanor. (g) Except as provided in subdivisions (e) and (f), a pet boarding facility operator who violates any provision of this chapter is guilty of an infraction punishable by a fine not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) for the first violation and by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each subsequent violation. The court shall weigh the gravity of the offense in setting the penalty.”

Originally a 2015 bill involving requirements for the Office of Administrative law, it passed the Assembly and was amended in Senate on August 17, 2015 to provide civil immunity for persons removing from vehicles unattended, endangered children or animals by creating a new personal right in the Civil Code. AB 797 was amended again, August 31, 2015 to include requirements for the rescuer and amended in Senate May 23, 2016 to include only animals and also amend Penal Code 597.7. Amended in Senate, June 6, 2016 to would add a new Section 43.100 to the Civil Code, under Division 1, Persons, Part 2, Personal Rights. The June 6 amendments remove references to various responder personnel categories and substitutes only the term, "person." Now, the person would have no civil liability for damage to or trespass to a vehicle done while rescuing an animal pursuant to Penal Code Section 597.7(b) that created offenses of leaving or confining an "animal in any unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal due to heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation, or lack of food or water, or other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal." This is separate from any civil liability or immunity of the person for rendering aid to the animal; and would amend Penal Code 597.7 by adding a new subsection (b) and re-lettering existing (b) as (c) with two amendments conforming to new (b.) The new subsection (b) contains the provisions for a person other than the responders specified the remainder of the amendments to exercise the personal right that would be created in the Civil Code amendment and avoid criminal liability: (b)(1) "This section does not prevent a person from taking all reasonable steps that are reasonably necessary to remove an animal from a motor vehicle if the person holds a reasonable belief that the animal’s safety is in immediate danger from heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation, lack of food or water, or other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal. (2) A person who removes an animal from a vehicle in accordance with paragraph (1) is not criminally liable for actions taken reasonably and in good faith if the person does all of the following: (A) Determines the vehicle is locked or there is otherwise no reasonable manner for the animal to be removed from the vehicle. (B) Has a good faith belief that forcible entry into the vehicle is necessary because the animal is in imminent danger of suffering harm if it is not immediately removed from the vehicle, and, based upon the circumstances known to the person at the time, the belief is a reasonable one. (C) Has contacted a local law enforcement agency, the fire department, animal control, or the “911” emergency service prior to forcibly entering the vehicle. (D) Remains with the animal in a safe location, out of the elements but reasonably close to the vehicle, until a peace officer, humane officer, animal control officer, or another emergency responder arrives. (E) Used no more force to enter the vehicle and remove the animal from the vehicle than was necessary under the circumstances. (F) Immediately turns the animal over to a representative from law enforcement, animal control, or another emergency responder who responds to the scene. New (c) is the existing (b) covering offense classifications and penalties and provisions for designated responders to remove and safeguard the animal including leaving a specified written notice and amendments to include "firefighters" as authorized responder and provide that responders receiving an animal from a person who has removed it from the vehicle is responsible for leaving the required notice on the vehicle, i.e. not the person. Senate Judiciary Com Policy Analysis, June 14, 2016 Senate Com on Public Safety Policy Analysis, June 27, 2016 SENATE FLOOR ANALYSIS, July 29, 2016 Amended in Senate, August 1, 2016 to add to the proposed Civil Code Section 43.100(b) 2 words, "(b) The immunity from civil liability for property damage to a motor vehicle THAT IS established by subdivision (a) does not affect a person’s civil liability or immunity from civil liability for rendering aid to an animal.
