If passed, House Bill 1468 would, among other provisions (this is from the AKC Website):
Limit ownership to 30 dogs that are at least one year of age and are not spayed or neutered.
Protect a dog purchaser from buying a dog with disease or other health conditions, but provide no recourse for breeders victimized by false accusations.
Label anyone who sells five dogs in a year a "pet dealer".
Exempt shelters and other rescue organizations from the standards of care required for dog breeders
