Today, North Carolina Senate Bill 460 was assigned to the House Committee on Commerce, Small Business, and Entrepreneurship. The House Committee on Finance will also consider SB 460 if the Commerce committee approves the bill. Both the American Kennel Club and the North Carolina Federation of Dog Clubs continue to oppose SB 460. Because the North Carolina legislative session is nearing its end, the proponents of SB 460 will attempt to fast-track this bill through the legislature, potentially voting on the bill as soon as this evening. Therefore it is imperative that all concerned responsible dog breeders and owners in North Carolina immediately contact the members of the committees, and their elected representatives, and let them know that you oppose SB 460.
