Impact

As a technical change, SB0779 is not expected to have a significant impact on state laws or policies concerning animal welfare. By cleaning up the language in the legislation, it ensures that the Act remains accessible and understandable, which could aid in better compliance and enforcement of existing animal protection standards. The bill reflects a commitment to maintaining up-to-date and precise legal language within the state's regulatory framework, which is crucial for both lawmakers and those affected by the law.

Summary

SB0779, introduced by Senator Don Harmon, proposes a minor modification to the Animal Welfare Act of Illinois. The bill is primarily technical in nature, as it aims to amend the short title section of the Act. It serves to clarify or correct language within the existing legislation to ensure proper citation and understanding of the Act. This kind of amendment does not change any substantive laws or introduce new regulations; instead, it seeks to clarify the existing legal framework governing animal welfare in the state.

Contention

While SB0779 is largely a straightforward technical amendment, any discussion surrounding it may revolve around the broader context of animal welfare legislation in Illinois. Notable points of contention could arise if there were proposals accompanying it that seek to expand or limit protections for animals in different regards. However, the bill itself does not appear to face significant opposition or contention as it stands solely as an update to existing language without altering the underlying principles of animal care and protection.
