CNN reported that the law requires each store "maintain records sufficient to document the source of each dog, cat, or rabbit the pet store sells or provides space for, for at least one year, and to post, in a conspicuous location on the cage or enclosure of each animal, a sign listing the name of the entity from which each dog, cat, or rabbit was obtained."
To ensure the requirement is being met, CNN reported that store operators will have to provide records origin of each animal. If the records can not be provided, the store will get a $500 fine per animal.
Prospective pet owners can still buy from private breeders, however. Pet stores are not able to do so.
