"The loss of a service animal, support animal or pet to traffic collisions is devastating to their human owners, particularly to people with disabilities."
"Currently, injuring or killing a pet is treated like a minor infraction. This bill aims to change that by imposing higher penalties for reckless driving that harms animals."
"Gounardes' bill recognizes the importance of these animals by adding companion to the 'due care statute' under vehicle law, aligning them with pedestrians and other vulnerable entities."
