Opened the debate
James Daly proposed a Bill to make provision regarding pets with microchips, aiming to bring into law two campaigns: Tuk’s law and Gizmo’s law. Tuk’s law requires veterinary surgeons to scan for rescue back-up contact details on microchips before euthanasia and to confirm the owner's identity. Gizmo’s law mandates that local authorities scan deceased cats' microchips to reunite owners with their pets.
