Impact analysis
While a specific price tag hasn't been dropped yet, setting up and maintaining a new database will likely pull some funds from local government operations.
Local pets, rescue animals, and shelter workers get a powerful screening tool to stop repeat offenders from adopting.
Convicted animal abusers will find it much harder to get a pet, and local shelters will face extra red tape.
