Animal Law Committee Meeting

John Izzo attended the Ohio State Bar Association’s Animal Law Committee Meeting on January 17, 2014.  At the meeting, the Committee decided to ask the Bar Association to support HB 243.  HB 243 is in the House Judiciary Committee.  It would require a child who is adjudicated a delinquent child for cruelty to a companion animal to undergo a psychological evaluation and, if recommended, counseling, to require the court to sentence other offenders who commit that offense to probation supervision, and to include the protection of companion animals in temporary protection orders, domestic violence protections orders, anti-stalking protection orders, and related protection orders.
