Requires that a retail pet store maintain certain records for not less than one year after the dog or cat is sold, adopted, or given away. Provides that a retail pet store must post the name and business address of the person or organization from which the dog or cat was obtained on the dog's or cat's cage. Makes it a Class C infraction if a retail pet store violates these provisions.
