Aye
Voted FOR bill that supports animal welfare
The main purpose of this bill is to improve regulations for animal shelters in North Carolina. But it also includes a provision that would allow an animal control officer, animal cruelty investigator or other emergency workers to break into your car if they think a pet locked inside is in danger. The bill requires them to try to find the owner first.
