As introduced, AB 243 would amend Penal Code Section 597.1,
enacted as a mandate rather than county elected option with the
1997 Hayden bill, SB 1785, to delete a paragraph covering post-
adjudication provisions and enact a new Penal Code Section
597.8 (would require re-numbering if this and AB 241 both
enacted) to mandate a number of post-conviction (designated
offenses) restrictions on owning or caring for animals, classified
as “contempt of court” as misdemeanor offenses and forfeiture of
any animals involved. This would remove all judicial discretion as
to these post-conviction issues, and as introduced, deletes the
provisions for return or disposition of animals following acquittal
or non-conviction.

Senate Public Safety Committee Policy Analysis
Amended in Senate, June 29, 2009 Deletes "commercial" from
parking lot, deletes "outdoor special sale" and "parking lot sale"
and adds additional exemptions for fish sales; and for cat, dog
and bird shows with restrictions to render this far worse than no
express exemption and meaningless, including "Each and every
participant in the show complies with all federal, state, and local
animal welfare and animal control laws." -- something impossible
to determine as to hundreds of participants.

As introduced, AB 1224 would declare intent of the Legislature to
enact legislation to include animals, pets, and livestock under
Section 20001 of the Vehicle Code, the basic "hit and run" statute.
Amended in Assembly, April 14, 2009 Would add a new Section

offense, fine not more than $100, 2nd offense, not less than $50
or more than $200): a - driver of vehicle injuring dog/cat/livestock
must stop as soon as safe, notify law enforcement, provide ID to

again.
