Sale of companion animals.

Abstract

Prohibits the sale of a companion animal unless the companion animal: (1) is at least eight weeks of age; and (2) has received appropriate vaccinations. Makes a violation a Class C infraction for every animal unlawfully sold, and increases the penalty to a Class B infraction if the person has a prior judgment for an unlawful sale. Defines "unfit for sale" and provides remedies for a person who purchases a companion animal that was unfit for sale or that was the subject of misrepresentations concerning the animal's age or medical history.
