  <synopsis_as_introduced>Amends the Humane Care for Animals Act. Provides that companion animal euthanasia chambers must allow for the separation of animals. Removes a provision requiring only one companion animal to be euthanized at a time. Requires veterinarians to use professional judgment when deciding whether or not a procedure shall involve the euthanasia of a single animal or multiple animals, taking into consideration the safety of facility staff and the most humane practices. Effective immediately.</synopsis_as_introduced>
