The CT SB 499-Puppy Lemon Law and Trace Back Bill has finally completed its legislative journey. On Wednesday, July 8, Connecticut Governor Rell signed this important humane legislation into law.
The law will improve the state's "puppy lemon law" by increasing the allowable reimbursement to pet purchasers who have bought sick animals and must assume often substantial veterinary costs. Send your thanks to Governor Rell for signing the Puppy Mill Bill - sign the letter below and tell a friend.
The new law will increase not only the window for reimbursement and cover puppies who become ill as a result of congenital defects but also the allowable reimbursement to pet purchasers who have bought sick animals and must assume often substantial veterinary costs. In light of Connecticut's significant feline overpopulation problem, cats sold from pet stores will be exempt from the lemon law provisions only when a cat is spayed/neutered before sale.
The law will also require that pet shops provide the identity of dog breeders and dealers to consumers, and that if pet shops sell cats and dogs from out-of-state kennels, such kennels are licensed by the USDA and the appropriate state agency.
Dear Governor M. Jodi Rell, Thank you for signing SB 499 into law. Your work and dedication to better protect consumers and puppies are deeply appreciated. We hope that with this very important step, you can inspire other elected officials to focus attention on animal protection in the future. |
