OFA Fiscal Note
No Fiscal Impact
The amendment replaces Section 3 in the underlying bill with a
provision that requires every dog kennel to be inspected annually by a
municipal animal control officer (ACO). It allows the ACO to issue
certain corrective orders, after consulting with a veterinarian, to fix any
adverse conditions. This has no fiscal impact since the amendment
requires the corrections to be made at the expense of the kennel
licensees, and also since it is expected that ACOs can inspect kennels
within their existing resources.
Additionally, it specifies: (1) how local kennel license fees must be
used by municipalities; and (2) that fees paid to a municipality for a local
kennel license cannot be returned or paid back to the person from whom
the fee was collected. These provisions have no fiscal impact since the
amendment does not alter the allocation of fees to municipalities.
