I G ~ DRAFT ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE 3, CHAPTER 5 OF THE LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION (e), BY ESTABLISHING AN ANIMAL TRANSFER PERMIT FOR ANIMALS UNDER THE AGE OF SIX MONTHS The Honorable City Council of the City of Los Angeles Room 395, City Hall 200 North Spring Street Los Angeles, California Honorable Members: Council File Nos and Pursuant to your request, this Office has prepared and now transmits for your consideration the attached draft ordinance, approved as to form and legality. The draft ordinance amends Article 3, Chapter 5 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section (e), by establishing and requiring a transfer permit to sell, transfer or advertise for sale any animal under the age of six months, including a dog or a cat, un less the seller is a pet store, licensed pet dealer, a non-profit animal rescue organ ization, or the dog or cat is sold pursuant to a valid breeding permit issued by the Department of Animal Services (Department). The transfer permit will complement the City's breeders permit by enabling the Department to regulate the sale of puppies, kittens and other animals under the age of six months within the City regardless of where the animals were bred. t
2 The Honorable City Council of the City of Los Angeles Page 2 The ordinance requires the holder of a transfer permit to obtain appropriate state and local business and sales tax permits and licenses, and would require the holder to include the transfer permit number in any advertising and on the sales receipt. The ord inance requires that the permit holder be 18 years of age or older and not have any conviction for animal cruelty or neglect, not knowingly sell or transfer an animal for dog or animal fighting or for use in any illegal activity, and attest to the animal's health and immunization history. Dogs or cats sold or transferred must be at least eight weeks old, weaned and micro-chipped, and a dog over the age of four months must also be vaccinated for rabies. The annual cost of a transfer permit would be $120.00, the same as the cost of a breeder's permit. Background and Summary of Ord inance Provisions Dogs, cats and other animals sold in pet stores are subject to various State and locallaws. 1 In the City of Los Angeles, pet stores must also prominently display the name and address of the breeder if the dog or cat was not bred in the City. 2 Similarly, dogs and cats bred in the City pursuant to a breeding permit are regu lated. Breeders must display the breeding permit number in an advertisement, are prohibited from selling the dog or cat until the an imal is at least eight weeks old and immunized and must provide the purchaser with a signed statement of the animal's health and immunization history. 3 Dogs, cats and other an imals not sold through pet stores or other regu lated establishments pursuant to a breeding permit are not subject to any regulatory oversight and there is nothing to protect the health of these animals or the public. 4 LAMC Section (e), entitled "Sale, Adoption and Other Transfers of Dogs and Cats," is presently very limited in its scope. It primarily prohibits the use of a dog or cat as a prize or inducement to enter a contest, lottery, drawing, competition or business, 5 or the sale or transfer of a dog or cat in a public place. 6 The ordinance will extend some of the current regulations covering pet stores and breeding permits to all persons selling or transferring animals under the age of six months. The ordinance prohibits the sale or transfer of any dog or cat until it is at least eight weeks of age, weaned and vaccinated against common diseases, and wi ll require 1 California Health and Safety Code Section , et seq (e)(6) (c). 4 The ordinance wil l have little impact on individuals sel ling a pet, as it affects only an imals under the age of six months. If the puppy or kitten is being sold as part of a litter, the seller would need a breeder's permit. Often, sellers claim that the an imal was bred outside of the City, and un less the Department can rrove otherwise, there is no regulatory oversight to protect the an imals or the public (e)(3) and (4) (e)(2).
3 The Honorable City Counul of the City of Los Angeles Page 3 a rabies vaccination if a dog is over four months old. The ordinance will require that the permit holder be over the age of eighteen years, have no conviction for animal cruelty or neglect and will prohibit the permit holder from selling or transferring the animal knowing that it will be used in animal fighting or in any illegal activity. The ordinance will require the dog or cat to be micro-chipped and that the name, address and telephone number of the new dog owner be provided to the Department. The transfer permit will also require the holder to obtain a City business license and, if applicable, a license from the State Board of Equalization. The Board of Animal Services Commissioners (Board) adopted a report from the General Manager at its meeting of November 13, 2007, supporting the transfer permit. The matter was waived through the Council's Public Safety Committee on September 5, 2008, and adopted by the City Council on September 16, 2008, without discussion, requesting that the City Attorney's Office prepare an ordinance amending Section of the LAMC. The matter was revised by the Board on February 9, 201 0, which requested more flexibility in enforcing the transfer permit by permitting the use of an administrative citation as well as an infraction or misdemeanor. The original action required that failure to comply with the transfer permit could only be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. The Public Safety Committee approved the recommended action on March 22, 2010, and the request for this ordinance was approved by the City Council on April 9, Fee Notice Requirement We note that, because this ordinance would impose a new fee, notice of its proposed adoption should be given in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Sections and 6062a. Those sections of State law require that prior to adoption of a new or increased fee a public hearing be held and notice of that hearing be published in a newspaper with two publications at least five days apart over a ten day period. The notice period begins the first day of publication, and there must be at least five days intervening between the first and the second publications, not counting the dates of publication. Council Rule 38 Referral A copy of the draft ordinance was sent, pursuant to Council Rule 38 to the Department of Animal Services asking that the Department make any comments that they may have directly to the City Council when you consider this matter.
