Mark DeSaulnier (D-11) Martinez

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 Assembly, May 12, 2008 deletes reference to increased duties for animal control officers and eliminates any reimbursable state mandate costs. Assembly Floor Analysis, May 12, 2008 Senate Judiciary Analysis, June 24, 2008 Amended in Senate, July 2, 2008 Adds to Civil Code Section 1816, "(e) For purposes of this section, the person or private entity that notifies animal control officials to retrieve the animal or 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."
