The law doesn't go into effect until October 1, 2008 so anyone can breed or have intact animals until that date ... after that date, if you don't have a special licence for owning intact animals (and pay extra yearly fees), you will be considered breaking the law.
Does anyone know if AKC (or any other registry) has applied to Los Angeles for official "recognition" yet? If they haven't done that by Oct 1, no one is going to be able to "legally" own unaltered dogs and cats in that area.
Chicago is trying to pass a similar bill and Virginia is thought to be the next area that will be targeted.
