TO:
Honorable Kelly Hancock, Chair, Senate Committee on Business & Commerce
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1818 by Patterson (relating to the source of dogs and cats sold by pet stores; providing a civil penalty.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Business & Commerce Code as it relates to the source of dogs and cats sold by pet stores. 

This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
