This legislation would authorize the Department to promulgate regulations to better protect animal health in Massachusetts. These rules and regulations would involve issues of importation, transportation, housing, and medical treatment. The regulatory process would address the needs of the various interested parties, and the animals they intend to assist. Additionally, its flexibility would permit changes to be made more easily when necessary. (This is a refile of bill H. 3704 filed in the 2009-2010 Legislative Session.) |
