The legislation is intended to bring under coverage of the federal Animal Welfare Act (AWA) commercial dog dealers who are currently exempt from regulation, including importers, mass marketers, and high volume breeders. It is also intended to strengthen the USDA’s ability to identify persons who are covered by the Act and to shut down serious violators.
