As soon as you receive this message, no matter the time, please call the
California Assembly Appropriations Committee and request that they vote "no"
if SB 250 comes out of suspense on Wednesday, August 26th. The phone
numbers are below the following information. Simply state your name and say "I
am requesting the Assembly (wo)man to vote "no" on SB 250 in Appropriations.
Thank-you."

The Rule: A bill must be in print for three days before being heard by a
Committee,
The Reality: They can change the rules.

As of 7:30 pm on Tuesday, August 25th there are no amendments for SB 250
which may mean that there will not be any. It may mean that Senator Florez
will get an exemption from the rules and the Appropriations Committee will
be looking at a bill that has not seen. Or Florez may let it stay in the
suspense file and turn SB 250 into a two year bill..

What happens to it now may depend on who makes more telephone calls.

As written your dog must be sterilized the first time it is picked up.
As promised, your dog will be sterilized the second time it is picked up
or the first time your dog or you violates an animal law anywhere in the
state.

That could be competing in an agility or obedience trial without the
license tag. That could mean wearing a show collar in the show ring. That
could mean training for a hunt test. That could mean exercising your dog in
parts of San Diego on a flexi-lead. That could mean being 30 seconds late
leaving the dog park. That could mean taking your puppy in to license in a
week after it is 4 months of age.

As written, the only exemptions are for hunting birds, boars and bears.
As promised, there would be an exemption for agricultural dogs.

There are no exemptions for
Law enforcement dogs
Search and rescue dogs
Cadaver dogs
Service dogs
Bomb detection dogs
Guide dogs
Movie and television dogs
Performance dogs
Show dogs

There are no exemptions for any dog visiting the State of California for
more than 30 days so if your out-of-state dog is in California campaigning,
it will be under the rule of SB 250.

Without a doubt the single most destructive piece of legislation for dog
owners in California. This is not about solving any problem. Please call
each and every Democrat on the Appropriations Committee to ask them to vote
No.
