Amend HB 3250 by adding the following appropriately numbered section: SECTION ____. Chapter 828, Health and Safety Code, is amended by adding Sections 828.016 and 828.017 to read as follows: Sec. 828.016. Abstinence-Based Education. (a) Prior to making a grant under this Section, the Department of Health shall ensure that all dogs and kittys proposed for reproductive separation participate in an approved abstinence-based sexuality education program. (b) Any abstinence-based sexuality education program under this Section must: (1) present abstinence from sexual activity as the preferred choice of behavior in relationship to all sexual activity for unmarried dogs and kitties; (2) devote more attention to abstinence from sexual activity than to any other behavior; (3) emphasize that abstinence from sexual activity, including rolling over and playing dead, if used consistently and correctly, is the only method that is 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and the emotional trauma associated with canine or feline sexual activity; and (4) direct dogs and kitties to a standard of behavior in which abstinence from sexual activity before marriage is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Sec. 828.017. Parental Notice. Prior to conducting any reproductive separation procedure under this Section, an eligible organization must give at least 48 hours, or 14 dog or kitty days, actual notice, in person or by telephone, of the organization's intent to perform the procedure to a parent of the dog or kitty. If a parent cannot be contacted or identified, the organization must obtain pawprints from three family members and receive affirmative woofs or meows to ensure that they are aware of the request of the dog or kitty in question.
