Prohibiting Pet Animal Sales in Public Spaces

The bill prohibits a person or entity from selling, delivering, offering or advertising for sale or adoption, bartering, auctioning, giving away, leasing, or otherwise transferring any pet animal at or on any public street, highway, right-of-way, parkway, median strip, park, recreation area, outdoor market, parking lot, or other public space. Pet animal facilities licensed under the "Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act" are exempted from the prohibition, as well as events held primarily for the sale of livestock.
