GA96SB38 96 SB 38 ANIMALS--HUMANE EUTHANASIA Amends the Humane Care for Animals Act. Provides that the euthanasia of companion animals through recognized methods "set forth by the most current American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines on euthanasia" (now, "as approved by the Department of Agriculture") is generally not animal cruelty. Prohibits the euthanasia of companion animals by certain means. Amends the Humane Euthanasia in Animal Shelters Act. Requires the Department to forward information regarding certain alleged violations to (i) the State's Attorney of the county where the violation occurred and (ii) a local law enforcement office or the Illinois State Police. Requires euthanasia technicians to meet an additional requirement before being certified and to perform an additional duty once certified. Prohibits persons who have been convicted of or have pled guilty or no contest to certain offenses from being issued a certificate to euthanize animals. Provides that only euthanasia drugs shall be used for the purpose of humanely euthanizing injured, sick, homeless, or unwanted companion animals in an animal shelter or an animal control facility licensed under the Illinois Animal Welfare Act (now, those animals may be euthanized by other means, including compressed carbon monoxide). Authorizes the Department to refuse to issue, renew, or restore a certification; revoke or suspend a certification; place on probation; reprimand; or impose a $10,000 fine (now $1,000 fine) for listed activities. Adds certain activities to that list. Creates criminal penalties for certain violations. Repeals a Section concerning criminal penalties. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=38&GAID=10&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=40230&SessionID=76&GA=96 2009-08-28 00:00:00 Senate Effective Date August 28, 2009 0 50 2009-08-28 00:00:00 Senate Governor Approved 0 49 2009-06-29 00:00:00 Senate Sent to the Governor 0 48 2009-05-31 00:00:00 Senate Passed Both Houses 0 47 2009-05-31 00:00:00 Senate Added as Chief Co-Sponsor Sen.
