Senate Bill 1901 amends the Agriculture Code to provide for the disposition or sale of impounded estrays by a county sheriff. The act authorizes a county sheriff to donate the stray animal to a nonprofit organization or to retain and use it for county purposes if the sheriff determines that the sale of the animal is unlikely to generate sufficient proceeds to cover the expense of the sale.
