| One voice can make a difference! I emailed my state rep regarding the proposed bill about breeding that was posted about on here last week. I got a response!!: Thank you for the heads up on House Bill 6395. I have not been aware of this bill primarily because it has not gone through one of my committees and has not been raised as an agenda item on the House floor. Please also understand that how a bill is initially written and what it looks like when it reaches the House floor for a vote of the chamber can be dramatically different. After reading your very strong arguments, however, I will be opposing this legislation if it reaches me in its current form. Thank you, again, for your comments. Looking Forward and Up, Representative Tom Pearce 73rd House District

| Sorry for the confusion, lol! Here is the thread about the bill: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...ease-read.html This is just part of the letter I sent him: Dear Tom, Today I was informed of this bill that is not only rediculous, but would hinder ethical dog breeders everywhere. I understand the problem with puppy mills and overcrowding in shelters, but MI House Bill 6395 isn't going to affect irresponsible breeding at all. Adding more laws and more tax, or licensing, is only allowing another foot in the door for further governmental control. This is an excerpt from what I read today: If adopted, HB 6395 would: Define anyone who sells or offers for sale more than two dogs per year, or more than one litter of dogs per year, as a "pet seller." Mandate that those who qualify as pet sellers to acquire an annual pet seller license from their county animal control shelter at a cost of $200/year. Require an applicant for a pet seller license to submit his or her fingerprints with a license application for a criminal history and FBI background check. Give discretion to county animal control shelters to deny applications for pet seller licenses, regardless of outcome of background investigation. Call for pet sellers to comply with administrative rules regarding housing that will be financially detrimental to responsible breeders who operate out of their homes It would be harder to breed a dog than it would be to buy a handgun!! And to deny applications for pet seller licenses regardless of backround info? So animal control will now be allowed to discriminate based on...nothing?? Fingerprinting for a breeders licence? This is a waste of time and money for the state to even consider.
