Animals (Penalty Notices) Act 2022

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This Act allows UK officials to issue instant financial penalties (fines) to people caught breaking animal welfare laws, rather than always taking them to court. It's designed to speed up punishment for animal cruelty and make enforcement easier, similar to how traffic tickets work.
