Changes to Central Animal Shelter: New Transport and Funding Rules

The act modifies the operation of the Central Animal Shelter. It introduces outsourcing of tasks to other entities, new animal transport procedures, and a significant budget increase. Citizens gain the option to submit documents electronically, while animals receive better protection through new regulations on returns and euthanasia.
Key points
Electronic documents: requests and protocols can be submitted electronically with trusted or personal signature, not just on paper.
Animal transport: new Director's approval required before bringing an animal, with refusal possible if budget limits are exceeded.
Task outsourcing: zoos, rehabilitation centers and shelters may perform Shelter tasks under contracts when more economical or practical.
Larger budget: spending limit increases from 77.4 million to 133.2 million PLN, with expenditure plans until 2031.
Animal returns: new cases when owners can recover animals – when court does not order forfeiture or proceedings are discontinued.
Stricter euthanasia rules: permit required for protected and CITES species, with 30-day deadline for the minister.
Longer document storage: extension from 2 to 3 years for animal transfer protocol retention.
