Summary
Violet's Law amends the Animal Welfare Act to require federal research facilities to establish standards and procedures for adopting out or placing animals no longer needed for research into rescue organizations, sanctuaries, or shelters within one year of enactment. The bill defines eligible animals (dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits) and establishes criteria for their release, including veterinary certification that they are free of infectious disease or physical abnormalities. Animal sanctuaries and rescue organizations must meet specific standards, including nonprofit status and restrictions on breeding, commercial trade, and research use.
