The CFAWA Legislative Committee is working on several bills that are being introduced by the legislature. If you have input for the legislative committee or if you need information about animal welfare legislation, please contact us.
Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund Extended
The Colorado Legislature extended the tax check off used to collect funds for spaying/neutering pets in underserved areas for an additional three years. This extra time on state tax forms will lead to thousands more animals being spayed and neutered in areas that need the assistance most.
Veterinarians Now Required to Report Animal Cruelty
Colorado veterinarians will now be required to report suspected cases of animal cruelty and provide authorities with any evidence of the suspected cruelty. Before the enactment of Senate Bill 187 the law required veterinarians to report suspected child abuse, but not suspected animal cruelty.
