An E. coli outbreak among children that officials linked to contact with animals at a recent fair has prompted state lawmakers to consider new rules requiring hand-washing stations and other protections at petting zoos and similar attractions across Arizona.
Senate Bill 1082, introduced by Republican Sen. John Kavanagh, would require hand-washing or hand-sanitizing stations at any location where members of the public are allowed to touch or feed live animals. The proposal also calls for clear warning signs, enclosed animal areas and adult supervision at all times.
“A number of kids at the Arizona fair came down with an illness that was directly related to their contact with animals in a petting zoo at the fair,” Kavanagh said. “I think that people, especially kids, need to be protected with reasonable regulations statewide.”
