The Senate Public Safety Committee will hold another hearing on AB 241 today after the adjournment of Senate floor session. Senator Steinberg was not present at the committee hearing earlier this week where the bill failed to pass on a 3-3 vote. Concerned dog owners are encouraged to contact the committee members are renew their opposition to the bill and to the fact that the lack of notice of this hearing is contrary to the democratic process.
Please thank Senators Benoit, Huff and Wright for their “No” votes Tuesday and ask them to continue to oppose the bill.

CA AB 241 Fails in Senate Public Safety
California Assembly Bill 241, which would have prohibited dog breeders from owning more than 50 intact animals, failed on a 3-3 vote in the Senate Public Safety Committee yesterday. The bill was granted reconsideration and is eligible to be heard in 2010.
AKC thanks all our hardworking fanciers and responsible breeders and owners who took the time to educate their elected officials about this bill. We also thank Senators Rod Wright, John Benoit and Bob Huff for voting against AB 241.
The Senate Public Safety Committee will hold another hearing on AB 241 today after the adjournment…
