New Law to Require Pet Information
12/27/10 @ 3:59:44 pm



SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A new state law that will take effect on New Year's Day requires pet stores to give potential buyers the details of every animal's health history. The Illinois Department of Agriculture says the new law will require that stores provide an animal's vaccination history and other details about its health. Stores also will have to disclose the name of the breeder as well as the animal's date of birth, breed and other details. The department says stores now must disclose such information only if it is requested and sometimes don't provide it until a sale is final. The law makes allowances for animal shelters and animal control facilities that often don't know an animal's history.
 
Someone already posted this. There's no way they can enforce that on animals like chinchillas, rats, etc. because they come from brokers, especially Petco and Petsmart. They would have absolutely no way of providing that information.
