Sec. 20. Program established. The Department shall establish and implement an Illinois Public Health and Safety Animal Population Control Program by December 31, 2005. The purpose of this program is to reduce the population of unwanted and stray dogs and cats in Illinois by encouraging the owners of dogs and cats to have them permanently sexually sterilized and vaccinated, thereby reducing potential threats to public health and safety. The program shall begin collecting funds on January 1, 2006 and shall begin distributing funds for vaccinations or spaying and neutering operations on January 1, 2007. No dog or cat imported from another state is eligible to be sterilized or vaccinated under this program. Beginning June 30, 2007, the Director must make an annual written report relative to the progress of the program to the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Governor.
