Howard Pearl", "committee": "Environment and Agriculture", "vote_yeas": 15, "vote_nays": 1, "text": "This bill passed on the Senate floor with three introduced amendments. At the public hearing in front of this committee, a Senator suggested that two more amendments be added to make additional corrections. This bill as it came to committee is a complex and controversial bill. The committee heard two full days of testimony that at times was emotional and at times was educational by those presenting both sides of the bill. The committee, knowing that there were time restraints for reporting the bill out, still decided to do what the House does best: review the bill line by line, coma versus semicolon, and fact-check the changes. The first serious concern was the animal care bonding in the bill. This has been before the House in the past (2014) and, based on testimony at that time from the ACLU, the House had concerns regarding bonding before a finding of guilt, concerns regarding the accuser's rights to Due Process, the 4th amendment, and other constitutional grounds. The committee discussed the concerns in depth and has moved this into a study commission called \"Cost of Care for Confiscated Animals.\" Briefly, the study will look to the Spay and Neuter program within the Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food (DAMF) that has established dedicated funds and use that program as a model, thus eliminating the bonding issue. These funds would be available to those communities that incur costs associated with the taking of an animal. Then, if the defendant is found guilty, he or she would be required to reimburse the fund. The second major issue was in the appropriation section of the bill allowing for additional personnel for inspection purposes with minimum funding. The committee heard testimony that, even if personnel were to be hired, they would not necessarily be assigned to this area. Given the limited time allocated for this financial bill to go to a second committee (3 hours) and for the committee to do its proper due diligence, the committee decided to add \"appropriations needed by the Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food to inspect pet vendors\" to the duties of the previously mentioned study commission. The outcome of this portion of the study will be added to the next session's budget bill. Other key areas address by the committee was to review definitions in RSA 437:1 such as defining breeding female dogs, animal rescue facility, and commercial breeding kennels. Based on the extensive testimony, comments, and news media reports, the committee addressed and defined first offense animal hoarding as a misdemeanor. The committee also added an exemption under the subsection of commercial breeder's kennel so it does not apply to the following: veterinarians, transfer of livestock or poultry, or breeders of dogs including, but not limited to: guarding, working or herding livestock, mushing, or participating in any lawful dog event. There are restrictions based on transferring 10 or more litters or 50 or more puppies in any 12-month period. The committee also made corrections related to RSA 437:1 in last year's budget to allow DAMF to have the ability to suspend and revoke a pet vendor's license upon completion of an investigation."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Anne Copp", "committee": "Environment and Agriculture", "text": "New Hampshire ranks among the top states in the nation regarding our animal cruelty laws. The Wolfeboro incident which precipitated this bill was a simple lack of communication. NH animal owners should not suffer unintended consequences because of it.

The Department assumes it would prioritize core mission work relative to public safety, agriculture, and animal health ahead of routine pet vending inspections and assumes no pet vending work beyond what is currently accomplished would get done until additional dedicated resources were committed. The definition of \u201crescue\u201d would expand the number of groups subject to licensing. Licensing of rescues would no longer be based on volume of transactions, but on tax exemption or registration with \u201ca state regulatory agency\u201d with a mission and practice to \u201crescue animals\u201d. The Department assumes an additional 30 rescues would be subject to licensing and regulation. Based on the definitions of \u201cbreeding female dog\u201d and \u201ccommercial breeding kennel\u201d it is assumed that to require licensing as a \u201ccommercial kennel\u201d at least 7 of the dogs in a kennel must have had a litter in the past 18 months that was transferred and those dogs are not used for any of the activities listed in RSA 437:7 including; field work, drafting, guarding, working, herding livestock, hunting. The Department is unclear how it would determine if a dog is unspayed, whether dog has had a litter in past 18 months, or whether a breeder is exempt based on the use of dog. Absent an owner\u2019s admission or the presence of records, there is no reasonable way to assess whether or not a breeder requires a license. As such, the Department assumes there is no reasonable means to compel licensing as a commercial breeding kennel unless someone voluntarily submits to such licensing. The Department therefore assumes there will not be a significant change in the number of licensed commercial kennels.\n\nThe Department assumes the requirement in RSA 437:3 to initiate an investigation of a complaint within 10 days is limited to complaints about current licensees. The Department currently initiates complaint responses within this time frame in most cases and assesses complaint specifics to prioritize complaints. The Department assumes, based on input from legal counsel, it would retain the right to prioritize complaints for response. Local officials who conduct their own inspections will submit these to the department, and the department will act upon them as with any public complaint.\n\nThe Department indicates it cannot ensure licensee behavior, but can only assess whether the facilities are adequate, when used appropriately, to provide humane treatment. The Department assumes, under proposed RSA 437:8, every animal being given from one person to another must now have a veterinary exam, health certificate, and vaccine before it can be transferred.\n\nIn response to proposed RSA 466:6, VI, the Department states animal control is local responsibility, and a group license does not indicate the presence of a commercial kennel or any other reason for reporting to the department. This creates more work for the department with no clear purpose. As such and in order to avoid the added burden of managing sensitive documents that are unnecessary, the department assumes it will not maintain a record of such information with no stated intent for its use.\n\nThis bill contains penalties that may have an impact on the New Hampshire judicial and correctional systems. There is no method to determine how many charges would be brought as a result of the changes contained in this bill to determine the fiscal impact on expenditures. However, the entities impacted have provided the potential costs associated with these penalties below.\n\nJudicial Branch\n\nFY 2019\n\nFY 2020\n\nClass B Misdemeanor\n\n(Proposed RSA 437:10, I)\n\n$50\n\n$51\n\nClass A Misdemeanor (Proposed RSA 437:10, I)\n\n$72\n\n$73\n\nRoutine Criminal Felony Case\n\n$457\n\n$462\n\nAppeals\n\nVaries\n\nVaries\n\nAppeals to the Supreme Court from decisions of the Commissioner of Agriculture\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIt should be noted that average case cost estimates for FY 2019 and FY 2020 are based on data that is more than ten years old and does not reflect changes to the courts over that same period of time or the impact these changes may have on processing the various case types. An unspecified misdemeanor can be either class A or class B, with the presumption being a class B misdemeanor.\n\nJudicial Council\n\nPublic Defender Program\n\nHas contract with State to provide services.\n\nHas contract with State to provide services.\n\nContract Attorney \u2013 Felony\n\n$825/Case\n\n$825/Case\n\nContract Attorney \u2013 Misdemeanor\n\n$300/Case\n\n$300/Case\n\nAssigned Counsel \u2013 Felony\n\n$60/Hour up to $4,100\n\n$60/Hour up to $4,100\n\nAssigned Counsel \u2013 Misdemeanor\n\n$60/Hour up to $1,400\n\n$60/Hour up to $1,400\n\nIt should be noted that a person needs to be found indigent and have the potential of being incarcerated to be eligible for indigent defense services. The majority of indigent cases (approximately 85%) are handled by the public defender program, with the remaining cases going to contract attorneys (14%) or assigned counsel (1%).\n\nDepartment of Corrections\n\nFY 2017 Average Cost of Incarcerating an Individual\n\n$36,960\n\n$36,960\n\nFY 2017 Annual Marginal Cost of a General Population Inmate\n\n$4,555\n\n$4,555\n\nFY 2017 Average Cost of Supervising an Individual on Parole/Probation\n\n$557\n\n$557\n\nNH Association of Counties\n\nCounty Prosecution Costs\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nEstimated Average Daily Cost of Incarcerating an Individual\n\n$85 to $110\n\n$85 to $110\n\nMany offenses are prosecuted by local and county prosecutors.
