Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

510 ILCS 70/19 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Humane Care for Animals Act. Provides that if the Department of Agriculture determines that a complaint made under the Act against a person or entity is false or unfounded and made with the intent to harass the person or entity, the Department may waive any confidentiality of the complainant and refer the matter to the State's Attorney for consideration of criminal charges against the complainant. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the introduced bill with changes. Provides that if any law enforcement officer, animal control officer, the Department, or an approved humane investigator (instead of the Department) determines that a complaint made against a person or entity is knowingly false and not made in good faith (rather that the complaint is false and unfounded) and is made with the intent to harass the person or entity, the Department may waive any confidentiality of the complainant and may refer the matter to the State's Attorney for consideration of criminal charges against the complainant. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that if any law enforcement officer, animal control officer, the Department, or an approved humane investigator determines that a complaint made against an animal control facility or animal shelter or an employee thereof (instead of a person or entity) is knowingly false and not made in good faith and is made with the intent to harass the person or entity, the Department may waive any confidentiality of the complainant and may refer the matter to the State's Attorney for consideration of criminal charges against the complainant.
