SB 202 as introduced and first amended March 4, 2019 AB 202 would amend the existing law covering animal blood banks (See AB 366 below) by: adding a new Food & Ag Code §9204.5. “Captive closed-colony” means that an animal is kept, housed, or maintained in any way for the purpose of collecting its blood.; amending §9205 defining Commercial Animal Bloodbanks to mean "animal blood or blood component products from captive closed-colony or community- sourced animals;" adding a new §9205.5. definition: “Community-sourced” means that an animal is both of the following: (a) Kept, housed, and maintained at the residence of its guardian. (b) Brought by its guardian to a commercial blood bank for animals to have its blood collected; amends §9212(b) to change one of the requirements for licensing from supervision by "a person qualified in the field" to a "licensed veterinarian;" amends §9221 to add "captive closed colony" terminology to requirements for the license application and adds a new requirement (8) "Blood-borne pathogen testing for all canine and feline blood donors in accordance with the most recent Consensus Statement on blood donor infectious disease screening by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine;" Amending §9269 to limit the existing confidentiality of records, adding a new (b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), identifying personal information that is contained in records described in subdivision (a) due to a person’s status as the guardian of a community-sourced animal donor, including, but not limited to, the person’s name, address, and phone number, shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) Finally, SB 202 includes "The Legislature finds and declares that Section 6 of this act, which amends Section 9269 of the Food and Agricultural Code, imposes a limitation on the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest: In order to protect the privacy of guardians of community-sourced animal donors and encourage their participation in animal blood donation programs, it is necessary to limit the public’s right of access to their personal information." as required by the California Constitution when a statute limits public right to information from a public official or agency. Senate Com on Agriculture Policy Analysis, March 28, 2019 Amended in Senate, April 10, 2019 to change instances of "guardian" to owner. Amended in Senate, April 30, 2019 add to the Food & Ag Code a new §9253 (a) (1) A commercial blood bank for animals licensed under this chapter shall not provide payment to a person who brings a community-sourced animal to the commercial blood bank for the purpose of donating that animal’s blood or blood component products. (2) For purposes of this section, “payment” means the transfer by a commercial blood bank for animals licensed under this chapter to a person of money or other valuable consideration that can be converted to money by the recipient. For purposes of this section, “payment” does not include fees for veterinary tests, screenings, or services that benefit the health of the community-sourced animal from which the blood or blood component products were taken. (b) A commercial blood bank for animals licensed under this chapter that accepts a donation from a community-sourced animal shall do all of the following: (1) Obtain the written consent of the owner of the community-sourced animal and keep a record of that consent. (2) Ensure that the licensed veterinarian providing direct supervision determines that production of blood and blood component products is safe and not injurious to the community-sourced animal’s health, including ensuring that the community- sourced animal is all of the following: (A) An appropriate age to donate. (B) A healthy weight to donate. (C) Has no history of bloodborne illness. (D) That the community-sourced animal is current on vaccinations. (c) A commercial blood bank for animals licensed under this chapter shall maintain a record of the donations collected, units supplied, any adverse events, and any complaints from owners regarding community-sourced animals that donate blood or blood component products. (d) A violation of this section shall constitute a cause for discipline by the board. Amended in Senate, May 15, 2019 to make nonsubstantive changes.

S.B. 781 Introduced 3/5/2019
|
Senate Public Safety Committee Omnibus Bill
|
As amended April 8, 2019, SB 781, the Public Safety Omnibus bill adds a provision to repeal Penal Code 597(f). among many other technical changes. Senate Com on Public Safety Policy Analysis, April 22, 2019 Assembly Com on Public Safety Policy Analysis, June 24, 2019 Amended in Assembly, July 1, 2019 to add to the Legislative Counsel's Digest a new explanatory §(2) Under existing law, Sections 597f and 597.1 of the Penal Code punish animal neglect by making it a misdemeanor to permit an animal to be in a building, street, lot, or other public place without proper care and attention. Both provisions of existing law allow a peace officer or other public entity to take possession of the animal, and both allow for the imposition of a lien on the animal for the costs of caring for the animal. Existing appellate case law holds that Section 597f of the Penal Code is unconstitutionally invalid for failing to provide the owner or person entitled to possession of the animal with reasonable notice and a hearing as required by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Section 597.1 of the Penal Code requires that the owner or keeper of the animal, if known or ascertainable after reasonable investigation, be given notice and provided with the opportunity for a hearing either before or after the seizure of the animal. This bill would repeal Section 597f of the Penal Code and would update cross references to that law in other code sections to instead refer to Section 597.1 of the Penal Code.

Sponsor: California Animal Welfare Association

As introduced, SB 787 is a Commttee bill that would amend statutes to replace the terms “pound” and “poundmaster” with “animal shelter” and “sheltermaster or shelter director,” respectively and make other nonsubstantive changes. Amended in Senate, April 22, 2019 nonsubstantive changes. Amended in Assembly, June 4, 2019, to amend Corporations Code Section 14502 and 14503 to substitute "California Animal Welfare Association" for existing references to SHAC and CACDA. Assembly Com on Business & Profession, Policy Analysis, June 12, 2019 Amended in Assembly, June 24, 2019 Assembly Floor Analysis, June 26, 2019 deleting amendments to sections that were amended and enacted by 2019 AB 1553 (below;) retaining amendments to include "California Animal Welfare Association" and to replace an outdated reference for hoof care with "A Guide: Minimum Standards of Horse Care in the State of California" published by the Center for Equine Health of the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of California, Davis." Amended in Assembly, August 26, 2019 would incorporate additional changes to Section 25988 of the Health and Safety Code proposed by SB 781 to be operative only if this bill and SB 781 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
Note: SB 787 and AB 1553 are similar in substituting contemporary for outdated wording, but the bills are not identical; identical companion bills in each house are not as common in California as Congress or some states.

As introduced, AB 1230 would make a 7-item list of findings negative to the veterinary procedure of declawing a cat and add to the Business & Professions Code a new §4832: "(a) Notwithstanding any other law, a person shall not perform a declawing on any cat or other animal unless both of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) The person is licensed as a veterinarian pursuant to this chapter. (2) The veterinarian is performing the declawing for a therapeutic purpose. (b) Whenever a veterinarian determines that declawing is necessary for a therapeutic purpose, the veterinarian shall prepare and file a written statement with the board setting forth the purpose for performing the procedure and providing the name and address of the owner or keeper of the animal. The veterinarian shall also provide a copy of that statement to the owner of the animal. A veterinarian who fails to comply with this subdivision within 30 days of the procedure shall be subject to discipline by the board, which shall make a determination as to whether or not to revoke the veterinarian’s license. (c) For purposes of this section: (1) “Declawing” means any of the following: (A) An onychectomy, dactylectomy, phalangectomy, partial digital amputation, or any other surgical procedure in which a portion of an animal’s paw is amputated to remove the animal’s claw. (B) A tendonectomy, or surgical procedure in which the tendons of an animal’s limbs, paws, or toes are cut or modified so that the claws cannot be extended. (C) Any other procedure that prevents the normal functioning of an animal’s claws. (2) “Therapeutic purpose” means for the purpose of necessity to address a physical medical condition of the animal such as an existing or recurring illness, infection, disease, injury, or abnormal condition in the animal’s claw that compromises the animal’s health. “Therapeutic purpose” does not mean cosmetic or aesthetic reasons or reasons of convenience in keeping or handling the animal."
