Although both Senate Bill 139, the crop/dock bill, and House Bill 198, a breeder regulation bill, were to be heard in committee this week, both bills have been removed from their respective agendas and we expect them to be significantly rewritten. Further, House Bill 198 is unlikely to move at all. Instead, the companion bill, Senate Bill 53 is likely to be the vehicle for any legislation addressing dog breeder licensing. The AKC Government Relations Department thanks all those who have made phone calls, and sent letters, faxes and emails to their representatives – you have made a major impact!!!"
