Short description: 
HUMANE CARE-SEARCH RESCUE DOG                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Humane Care for Animals Act.  Provides that  it  is  a      
   Class  B  misdemeanor  to  willfully  and  maliciously taunt, torment,      
   tease, beat, strike, or administer or subject any desensitizing drugs,      
   chemicals, or substance to a search and rescue dog, or to interfere or      
   meddle with a search and rescue dog or  the  dog's  handler.  Provides      
   that  it is a Class A misdemeanor to willfully or maliciously torture,      
   mutilate, injure, disable, or poison a search and rescue  dog  (and  a      
   Class  4 felony if the dog is killed or totally disabled).  Creates an      
   exception for euthanasia.                                                   
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                              
          Corrections population and fiscal impacts would be minimal.          
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts)         
          It has been determined that the bill would neither decrease          
          nor increase the number of judges needed in the State.               
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                        
          Fiscal impact and impact on the corrections population would         
          be minimal.                                                          
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Corrections)                              
          Same as correctional note.                                           
        GOVERNOR'S AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE                                     
        Recommends that: the new prohibitions apply to a search and            
   rescue dog only when the dog is performing its functions or duties or       
   when the dog is confined while off duty; the new prohibitions apply to      
   a search and rescue dog's handler only when the handler is performing       
   his or her functions or duties; and a January 1, 2002 effective date        
   be added to the bill.
