.24 Sale and Distribution of Pet Animals.

To help prevent the spread of a communicable disease, a seller or a group of sellers who prepares or causes to be prepared a pamphlet, flyer, or other printed information on the handling of one or more pet animals and who distributes this pamphlet, flyer, or other printed information, shall ensure that this pamphlet, flyer, or other printed information stresses the importance of handwashing after contact with a reptile or other pet animals or its surroundings, and the need to consult a physician if a child younger than 5 years old, a pregnant woman, or an immunocompromised individual lives in the household for which a pet animal is purchased.
