BILL NUMBER:S7475 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring research dogs and cats at certain facilities to be offered for placement with a non-profit animal rescue and shelter organization PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation would adopt the gold standard in canine and feline welfare by creating regulations pertaining to the treatment of dogs and cats at the end of any research performed on these animals. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1. amends the agriculture and markets law by adding a new section 378-a by requiring publicly funded animal research facilities to seek adoption for those animals not required to be euthanized when testing is complete. Section 2. effective date. JUSTIFICATION: State-funded research facilities (such as university laboratories) sometimes utilize dogs and cats for research. If the animals do not have to be euthanized at the end of the tests for the sake of necropsy/cell and tissue samples, these dogs and cats deserve a chance to be adopted out. These labs should be required to make this effort. Currently there are many laws covering the treatment of animals in labs
