145th General Assembly
House Bill # 192

Primary Sponsor: Walls Additional Sponsor(s):    Sen. Ennis
CoSponsors: Reps. Atkins, Carson, Jaques
Introduced on : 06/04/2009
Long Title:AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 3 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE ANIMAL POPULATION CONTROL PROGRAM AND SPAY/NEUTER FUND.
Synopsis:This legislation expands the beneficiaries of the Spay/Neuter Fund to include two additional groups of applicants. First, recipients of Social Security disability compensation are presently eligible, and this legislation would expand eligibility to those individuals who received Social Security disability compensation until they reached full retirement age, but for whom the Social Security Administration has since converted their benefits to regular social security. Second, this legislation would expand eligibility to include veterans receiving disability compensation whose disability ratings by the Veteran’s Administration are 50% or higher. The legislation also eliminates the cap on spay or neuter procedures and, after the Program has been administering benefits for two years, it authorizes the Administrator to make ongoing evaluations of the Program’s viability and sustainability so as to recommend improvements to it more often than every two years if necessary.
