Requires duly incorporated humane societies, a duly incorporated society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, pet dealers, or any pound microchip stray animals before making them available for adoption.

This bill requires that certain organizations, including humane societies and pet dealers, must microchip stray animals before they can be put up for adoption. The goal is to ensure that these animals can be tracked and returned to their owners if they get lost. This measure aims to improve the welfare of stray animals and promote responsible pet ownership.

Supporters of the bill argue that microchipping stray animals is a crucial step in reducing the number of lost pets and reuniting them with their families. They believe that this legislation will enhance animal welfare and promote responsible adoption practices among pet dealers and shelters.

Critics of the bill may argue that the requirement to microchip stray animals could create additional burdens for shelters and pet dealers, potentially slowing down the adoption process. They might also express concerns about the costs associated with microchipping, which could be passed on to adopters or lead to fewer adoptions overall.
