The bill establishes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and criminal penalties ranging from fines up to $20,000 and imprisonment up to 5 years, depending on the value of goods and knowledge of the violation. The bill also provides for forfeiture of prohibited items and equipment used in violations, citing concerns about decimating global donkey populations and harming communities that depend on donkeys for livelihoods.
