Historic Legislation! California legislative committee passes puppy and cat mill bill, AB 241

AB 241, a bill to regulate commercial dog and cat breeders in California, appeared to be dead on Tuesday, July 14, when the California Senate Public Safety Committee failed to pass it on a 3-3 vote. 

The sponsor, Rep.  Pedro Nava, even talked about bringing it up next year.

But then on Thursday, July 16. the committee reconvened, and this time Senate President Pro Tem, Sen. Darrell Steinberg, was present. The bill passed by a vote of 4-0.

As the saying goes, it ain't over till it's over.... The bill now goes to the Appropriations Committee.
