Amends the Animal Welfare Act. Defines "animal", "animal rescue group", "companion animal", "dog daycare", "exotic or non-domesticated animal", and "humane society". Provides that the 4 animal limitation on foster homes does not include a foster home owner's personal animals or the offspring of a female animal until that offspring reaches the age of 8 weeks. Removes a provision requiring records relating to the origin and sale of dogs to be made available for inspection by the Secretary of Agriculture or the Department of Agriculture upon demand. Adds provisions concerning the location and review of records and requiring licensees to keep records of each transfer of non-human primates or exotic or non-domesticated animals. Adds dog daycares, animal rescue groups, humane societies, and foster homes to the list of businesses that require licensure in order to operate in the State. Exempts certain businesses and activities from the licensure requirement. Provides that in order to operate a foster home, a person must obtain sponsorship from an animal shelter, an animal rescue group, or a humane society, rather than a permit. Provides that a business that requires licensure must obtain approval from the Department before expanding the business by more than 20% or adding a new species of animal to the business. Provides that the Department may, upon its own motion or a verified complaint, investigate the actions of any person holding or claiming to hold a license (now, the Department may also investigate the actions of any applicant for initial issuance of a license). Provides that before refusing to renew a license, the Department shall notify the holder of a license that a hearing will be held on a designated date to determine whether the respondent is privileged to hold the license (now, the Department must also provide notice and set a hearing for an applicant before refusing to issue a license). Allows the release for sale, trade, or adoption of animals with diseases, injuries, or abnormalities if the transferee has knowledge of the disease, injury, or abnormality and has given written consent to the acceptance of the animal with the condition. Eliminates application fees for foster home permits and renewal of foster home permits. Makes other changes.
