I agree with you Nancy as I think you have to read the following (it doesn't copy over exactly how it shows on the bill) but some of this was already there and they are just amending this bill. I am guessing that they are trying to push this through so it can go into affect by June/July 2009. I believe they first started with the commercial breeder, then the pet dealer (home breeder) and then rescue organizations. Many of the bills failed in the past because they did not separate these 3 groups and address them separately.
