Senators RANKIN and ADAMS propose the following amendment (SJ-427.MB0001S):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 47-3-620(A) and (B) and inserting:

 (A) It is unlawful for a person to wilfully or maliciously shoot into a vehicle or trailer while a police dog or horse is inside, shoot and hit a police dog or horse while running in pursuit, torture, mutilate, injure, disable, poison, or kill a dog or horse used by a law enforcement department or agency in the performance of the functions or duties of the department or when a dog is placed in a kennel off duty or a horse is placed in a stable off duty. However, a police officer or veterinarian may perform euthanasia in emergency situations when delay would cause the dog or horse undue suffering and pain.
 (B) A person who violates a provision of this section is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than two thousand dollars nor more than twenty thousand dollars, and imprisoned for not less than two years nor more than ten years. In addition to any other penalty provided in this section, the court shall order a person convicted of a violation of this section to pay restitution to the law enforcement department or agency in an amount that would cover the full cost of restoring or replacing the animal that was injured or killed, including all related purchase, training, and veterinary expenses incurred as a result of the incident; and the court also may sentence the person to one year of animal-related community service.
