Amends the Humane Euthanasia in Animal Shelters Act. Contains provisions concerning renewal of a euthanasia technician certificate and continuing education; restrictions on issuing certificates because of felony convictions; euthanasia methods; refusal to renew and revocation of euthanasia technician and euthanasia agency certification; exemptions from certification; and criminal penalties. Provides that a licensed veterinarian may euthanize companion animals in an animal shelter or animal control facility by the use of carbon monoxide if the veterinarian complies with the requirements set forth in the Humane Care for Animals Act for euthanasia by that method.
