S.B. 969
Introduced 1/17/12
|
Juan Vargas (D-40) San Diego
area
|
As introduced January 17, 2012, SB 969 would
add to the Business and Professions Code,
Chapter 11, Veterinary Medicine a new Article 7,
Pet Groomers to license and regulate pet
groomers and premises under the Veterinary
Medical Board which would approve all
schools. The VMB could impose administrative
penalties not over $1,000; any person
violating/aiding/abetting the provisions, guilty of
misdemeanor: fine $500-2,000 and/or county
jail, min. 30 days, max one year.
Amended in Senate, April 9, 2012 using above
B&P structure, would create the "California Pet
Grooming Council", designated members, only
one of ten representing grooming profession, to
adopt bylaws, obtain federal tax exemption, hire
staff, enter contracts and implement and enforce
a mandatory "certificate" program, comparable
to licensing if it were implemented by a
government agency, for "pet groomers" and "pet
bathers and brushers" (lesser education,
experience) and approve grooming schools and
education providers. Same penalties.
Amended in Senate, April 18, 2012 to remove
criminal penalties and replace with civil
enforcement as unfair business practice for a
person "to hold himself or herself out, or
advertise or put out any sign or card or other
device, or to represent to the public through any
print or electronic media, that he or she is
certified, registered, or licensed by a
governmental agency as a pet groomer or pet
bather and brusher
without meeting the requirements of this
article." (The "certification" would be optional in
this scheme.) Replaces direct approval of
schools with approval of curricula. List of
specific requirements for groomers' operations
deleted. Related changes.

As introduced, SB 1500 would amend Penal
Code Sections 597.1 to provide that the owner of
animals seized pursuant to a search warrant is
NOT entitled to a postseizure administrative
hearing with the seizing agency (i.e. all actions
must be brought judicially in court); when seized
animals are held pursuant to a postseizure
hearing, the owner must be presented with a
statement of charges at that time, and if there is
no hearing, the statement must be sent by
certified mail or personal delivery; if the accrued
charges are paid within the first 14 days, the
agency may furnish periodic statements to be
paid within 14 days to avoid forfeiture; added to
requirements for owner seeking return of
properly seized animal is providing to
satisfaction of agency/hrg officer that the owner
does not present a danger to the animal; prior to
disposition of criminal charges,
agency/prosecuting attorney may file a petition
for forfeiture, hearing to be held w/n 14 days,
petitioner having burden of proof by
preponderance of evidence that even if owner is
acquitted, owner cannot or will not be able to
care for the animal and if court finds petitioner
has met this burden of proof, court shall order
forfeiture; and Section 597.9 regarding
defendant petitioning court to reduce period of
prohibition on animal ownership, the burden of
proof is increased from showing probable
cause to establishing by preponderance of the
evidence the requirements.
Amended in Senate, April 9, 2012 amending
consistently conditions of return to owner.
Senate Com on Public Safety Policy Analysis,
April 16, 2012
Amended in Senate, May 15, 2012 no longer
state-mandated program or fiscal bill; PC
597.1(f)(4) as to conditions for return of seized
animal, removes proposed "requirement for
owner to show return will "not present a danger
to the animal"; PC 597.1(h), (i) deletes
amendments to existing law re costs of care
except minor, non-substantive wording.
Amended in Senate, May 23, 2012 adds to
Penal Code Sec 597.1(k) regarding matters
prior to final disposition of criminal charges, a
new subsection "(4) Nothing in this subdivision
is intended to authorize a seizing agency or
prosecuting attorney to file a petition to
determine an owner's ability to legally retain an
animal pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision
(l) if a petition has previously been filed pursuant
to this subdivision."
Senate Floor Analysis, May 23, 2012
Amended in Assembly, June 13, 2012 deleting
from PC 597.1(f) amendment "If an animal is
seized pursuant to a search warrant,
the owner or keeper is not entitled to a
postseizure hearing with the
seizing agency."; and deleting from PC
597.1(k)(3) amendment regarding petitioner (i.e.
prosecutor) standard to obtain forfeiture even if
owner is acquitted of criminal charges, "either:
(A) the owner cannot or will not provide the
necessary care for the animal in question or",

As introduced, AB 805 would comprehensively
reorganize and recodify the Davis-Stirling
Common Interest Development Act, effective on
and after January 1, 2014, including within its
lengthy provision, a new Civil Code Section
4715. (a) No governing documents shall
prohibit the owner of a separate interest within a
common interest development from keeping at
least one pet within the common interest
development, subject to reasonable rules and
regulations of the association. This section may
not be construed to affect any other rights
provided by law to an owner of a separate
interest to keep a pet within the development.
(b) For purposes of this section, "pet" means
any domesticated bird, cat, dog, aquatic animal
kept within an aquarium, or other animal as
agreed to between the association and the
homeowner.
(c) If the association implements a rule or
regulation restricting the number of pets an
owner may keep, the new rule or regulation
shall not apply to prohibit an owner from
continuing to keep any pet that the owner
currently keeps in the owner's separate interest
if the pet otherwise conforms with the previous
rules or regulations relating to pets.
