On April 26, Congressman Tony Cárdenas (CA-29) and Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) reintroduced the Companion Animal Release from Experiments (CARE) Act of 2023, legislation to require facilities that use dogs, cats and rabbits for research purposes, and receive funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to develop and implement adoption policies for such animals when no longer used for research. The bill also requires these facilities to maintain records of the animals and make them available to the public.
