Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Animal Control Act. Provides that any individual who decides to harbor or hold in his or her possession any lost or stray dog of which he or she is not the owner shall, within 48 hours of taking possession of the dog, report to the police station and animal control facility nearest to the place where the dog was found. Provides that, in the report to the police station and animal control facility, the individual shall include all relevant information, including, but not limited to, where the dog was found, the name or any other information or identification tags found on the dog, tattoos, color, age, size, and pedigree of the animal and the individual's name and address. Provides that the individual shall arrange for the dog to be scanned for the presence of a microchip by an animal control facility, animal shelter, veterinarian's office, or any other establishment with a working microchip scanner, and that the animal control facility, animal shelter, or veterinarian's office must maintain a record of scanning the dog for a microchip. Provides that the failure to report a lost or stray dog within 48 hours of taking possession of the dog shall be punished by a fine of no less than $50 and no more than $500.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill. Provides that any individual who decides to hold in his or her possession any lost or stray dog of which he or she is not the owner shall, within 48 hours of taking possession of the lost or stray dog shall make every reasonable attempt to contact the owner as soon as possible and relinquish the dog to the owner within a reasonable amount of time after making contact (in the introduced bill, make every reasonable attempt to contact the owner as soon as possible, and return the dog if the owner is found). Changes reference from pedigree to gender. Defines "hold". Makes technical changes.
