govt and changing the bill to non-fiscal.

Senate Floor Analysis
Assembly Committee on Judiciary Policy Analysis, June 22, 2010
Amended in Assembly, August 2, 2010 Revamps bill structure to
repeal rather than amend existing Corporations Code Sec 10401
& 10402, amends existing Sec 10400 to remove "children" and
apply new provisions to spca corporations formed on/after 1/1/11,
amends Sec 10404 to delete "members", i.e. only the spca
corporations and humane officers may make complaints/aid
prosecution of offenders, other conforming amendments;
amendments to Sec 14500 et seq, specifies judicial "petition"
process rather than application for "confirmation" of appointment
of humane officers (Level 1 or 2) and sets forth many
requirements for the procedure, appointees, etc. The significant
change allows petition for Level 2 confirmation after only one year
of incorporation but minimum 5 years for Level 2 and simply
operating a shelter or agreement for sheltering with another entity
with no time period required. This is a complex bill with many
requirements and restrictions but this amendment has lowered
the entry threshold from earlier versions.

As introduced, AB 1980 would amend the Veterinary Practice Act to
not prohibit an employee of an animal control/humane shelter
from administering first aid to specified animals if he or she has
received proper training in that administration.
Amended in Assembly, April 28, 2010 to add a new subsection to
Bus & Profs Code Sec. 4827 "(e) Administering first aid to sick,
injured, homeless, or unwanted domestic pets or animals without
the presence of a veterinarian when the person is an employee of
an animal control shelter and its agencies or humane society and
has received proper training in the administration of first aid for
these purposes. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to
authorize a person to act outside the scope of his or her
employment."

Reg Vet Tech to be appted by Gov, makes the existence of the
multi-displinary advisory committee (see 2008 SB 1584) indefinite
and amends provisions for committee, extends vet pract definition
to include "physical rehabilitation or musculoskeletal manipulation
upon an animal" creating a criminal liability for unauthorized
practice by unlicensed, would extend certain exemption from
un-authorized vet tech practice to students, create crime for using
vet tech designation without requirements met, would make the
Reg Vet Tech Committee inoperative after appointment of Vet Tech
to VMB, add required training requirements for unregistered Vet
Techs (except specified students) to operate x-ray equip as
specified requirements for managing licensed vet., add to Vet
Pract Act existing requirement for rodeo vet (Penal Code 596.7) to
submit report on any animal injury needing vet treatment by any vet
and VMB posting on website, and exempts from liability vet/reg vet
tech services to animals during war/emergencies except for willful

Amended in Senate, August 19, 2010 deleted the amendment to
B&P Sec. 4826 that would have added to the scope of veterinary
practice, "performs physical rehabilitation or musculoskeletal
manipulation upon an animal". This would have criminalized
veterinary chiropractic by other than licensed veterinarians, i.e.

As introduced, AB 2743 was a spot bill referencing Emergency
Medical Services
Amended in Assembly, April 8, 2010, would make legislative
findings about declawing cats and add to the Civil Code Section
1942.7 to prohibit residential landlords who permit occupancy of
dogs or cats from advertising, refusing, requiring, preferentially
treating or discriminating against tenants whose dogs or cats are
not debarked or declawed respectively (unless therapeutic as
defined); violation is civil penalty not exceeding $2,500 paid to
person harmed.
Amended in Assembly, April 28, 2010 Changes "debark" to
"devocalize", "other than therapeutic" to "nontherapeutic"; adds civil
penalty up to $1k for each violation NOT resulting in procedure,
civil penalty up to $2.5k paid to owner(s)/caretaker(s) for each
animal subjected to the procedures (elected by owner); extends
standing to enforce to IRC Sec. 501(c) exempt organizations
"dedicated to protection of animals" to obtain these same
penalties for the org.
ASM Committee on Judiciary Policy Analysis, May 4, 2010 notes
additional proposed amendments to clarify scope of prohibited
conduct.
Amended in Assembly, May 11, 2010 Sec. 1 completely revises
"findings" to "(a) Declawing and devocalizing are veterinary
surgical procedures that have irreversible effects on the animals
that undergo these procedures.
(b) Declawing and devocalizing may have the unintended
consequence of creating potential public health and safety
concerns; for example, the possible safety risk to law enforcement
officers posed by a devocalized attack dog present on property that
law enforcement officers have legal cause to enter to investigate
illegal activity.
(c) The permanence of these surgical procedures contrasts with
the temporary nature of the occupancy of real property owned by
another, which generally lasts only for a fixed term and may be
terminated upon notice by one of the parties.
(d) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to restrict the
ability of a person or corporation to impose conditions on
occupancy of property that are based on declawing or devocalizing
an animal that is allowed on the premises". ; re-wording other
provisions.
Assembly Floor Analysis, May 12, 2010
Amended in Senate, June 7, 2010 to add descriptive language that
declawing could result in feline behavior endangering public
health and safety by increased aggression and litter box
avoidance and dog "de-vocalizing" and dog-devocalization
endanger law enforcement officer with legal cause for entry rather
than "investigating illegal activity" (broader meaning); adds to
authorized non-profit enforcing agencies "whose mission includes
the protection of fair housing laws"; and ". A person may sue for
declaratory relief, injunctive relief, or for monetary relief as provided
in paragraphs (2) and (3)." when 2 and 3 give rise to penalty
whether or not procedure was performed. This increases
liabilities for landlords and incentives for outright prohibition of
dogs and cats and any negotiation for their occupancy.
Senate Committee on Judiciary Policy Analysis, June 15, 2010
Senate Floor Analysis, June 17, 2010
Amended in Senate, July 15, 2010 Minor change to the proposed
new Civil Code Sec. 1942.7(d) to incorporate final sentence into
prior sentence to clarify that organizations (not only individuals)
may sue for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, or for monetary relief
as provided.
Senate Floor Analysis, August 4, 2010
Senate Floor Analysis, August 17, 2010
Amended in Senate, August 20, 2010 reduces the monetary civil
penalty to no more than $1,000 per animal, paid to either the
person harmed OR entity authorized, now limited to a city attorney,
district attorney, or other law enforcement prosecutorial entity, to
bring legal action.
