Description
Animal abuser registration; penalties. Requires anyone 18 or older who has been convicted of a felony violation of an animal cruelty law to register with the office of the primary law-enforcement agency in the locality when he is present in Virginia for more than 10 consecutive days and to renew his registration annually for 15 years. The agency is required to collect and forward to the Attorney General the abuser's registration information and to provide certain information to all residences, schools, animal shelters, and businesses within one-half mile of the abuser's location. The bill requires the Attorney General to maintain a publicly accessible registry of the abusers who are required to register. Read the Bill »
