Here in eastern part of Virginia it is. Perhaps not with a breed specific rescue but it is a mandatory requirement through our SPCA and city run pounds. A couple of other rules...if you work full time...you can not get a puppy, any other animal in the house must be neutered. I add that last part...because a friend with a bulldog was not allowed to adopt a cat because the dog was not neutered.
As far as more taxes, fees etc it will affect only those breeders who do comply with the laws. Puppymillers are notorious for ignoring "rules".
