The House Finance Committee will consider Senate Bill 460 on Thursday, July 1, at 8:30 AM.  So far, your emails and phone calls have made a huge difference. Please keep up the great work! We need to continue to remind members of the H. Finance Committee that responsible dog owners oppose S460.

Please consider attending Thursday’s hearing to show your opposition to the bill. The hearing is not likely to take more than an hour. Business attire or show clothes are appropriate for the hearing. While attendees will not be able to speak, numbers matter. The committee members will see how many took the time to come to the hearing to express opposition to this bill as currently written.

If you are unable to attend, please take a few minutes to contact the members of the committee and respectfully ask them to oppose Senate Bill 460.  Scroll down for details on the hearing and contact information for the committee.
