A new bill has been introduced in the Colorado House of Representatives that would require pet owners to pay an annual fee and register their pet with the state.
The bill’s sponsor, El Paso County Representative Regina English, says the purpose of the new law is to better connect pets with their owners and create a system of designated caregivers should the pet’s owner not be able to take care of their animal.
The annual fee would range from $8.50 to $25.
