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.

As introduced, AB 1122 would add a new Penal
Code Section 597.4 making it "unlawful for any
person to willfully sell, trade, barter, display, or offer
for sale, trade, or barter, or give away as part of a
commercial transaction a live animal on any street,
highway, public right-of-way, commercial parking
lot, or at any outdoor special sale, swap meet, flea
market, parking lot sale,
carnival, or boardwalk" except ag auctions/sales,
tax-exempt SPCAs (statutory restriction would apply,
i.e. not merely tax exempt), and public animal
control agencies. Violations range from $250
infraction for 1st offense w/o harm to animal and
misdemeanors for 1st offence w/harm, or
subsequent offenses, fine up to 1k, court to weigh
gravity in determining fine level. All other laws apply
additionally.

"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.
