I think it will pass and be tiled here with the rest of the AVMA policies:
AVMA Policy
This is not a law. No AVMA policy serves as a law.But if certain people back it, then obviously they may try to make it a law. It would be ridiculous and impossible to enforce
Veterinary associations put out guidelines like this all the time. Some vets will pay attention to it and some won't. But this is part of the role of these organizations. They are allowed to warn if they are concernedabout something. Look at the AAHA warning about yearly vaccines. I think the AVMA was in on that too.Do there is a case where recommendations went against big business.
I'd never want a law that would prohibit family pets from eating raw because...that is owner's choice (with the exception of feeding green meat, road kill, etc. bc that is going too far, imo). I do want vets and organizations to put out warnings if they believe something could be problematic.
I don't feed raw and do not feel it is safe enough for my liking. My vet feels the same way. That is not just based on what she has read, but also on what she has seen clinically and talked to colleagues about. At the same time, she is no Beneful/dog chow supporter either. She does not say not to feed raw, but does strongly suggest fecals be done and explains what she does not like about the diet.
I think for every argument supporting raw, there is a counterargument. The same may be able to be said about kibble, but it is still mire widely trusted.
IMO, do what you believe is best for your pets because if something goes wrong there will be nothing to regret.
I personally think homecooked is best. My yorkie now does much better on an rx diet. My boy has bladder issues and needs an rx food right now. And I don't have the time/energy most of the year to commit to cooking unless it is very important, so this is best for us.
