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.

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.
