We are frustrated to announce that AB 1881, the Dog and Cat Bill of Rights has failed to pass the Senate. We are particularly dismayed to convey that CalAnimals, the association representing animal control agencies and animal shelters in the state, played the leading role in killing the bill.
Call to Action for AB 1811! Plus, AB 1648, a bill that will require an evacuation plan as a condition of all kennel permits, passed the full Senate!
AB 1648, a bill that will require an evacuation plan as a condition of all kennel permits, passed the full Senate with an initial vote of 32 to 0.
AB 1881, the Dog and Cat Bill of Rights is up for a vote by the full Senate as soon as Monday. Please make a call to your Senator urging them to vote “YES” on AB 1881!
AB 1648 Passes Out of Senate Appropriations Committee with a 6-0 Vote! We are thrilled that Senator Portantino and Senate leadership supported AB 1648, authored by Assemblymember Brian Maienschein (D – San Diego), and moved the bill to the Senate floor.
Dear friends: As you may know by now, I am running for Assembly District 72. If you would like to support my candidacy, I have three fundraising events coming up that I would love for you to attend! Please see the event flyers below and please share.
If the public is denied access to visit the animals to make a connection and bond, then the results are obvious: adoptions plummet and euthanasia skyrockets. It’s commonsense.
CALL TO ACTION FOR AB 1648!
The fate of AB 1648, the Animal Evacuation Act, will be decided by the Senate Appropriations Chair and Pro Tem.
That is why they need to hear from you!
