REGIONAL LEGISLATIVE CHALLENGES
SB 318 is DEAD
SB 318 has received UNFAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION by the Maryland Senate
Judiciary Proceedings committee.
Because the same bill would need to pass both
houses, HB 495 remains unvoted on, but that is a moot point.
WITHDRAWN BY SPONSOR:
HB 1177:
Requires all Maryland State Parks have some portion available to parkgoers
with pets.
SUPPORT:
SB 447:
requires law enforcement SWAT teams to submit monthly reports to the
Attorney General that indicate, among other things, every occasion in which
a human or domestic animal is injured or killed as a result of a SWAT raid.
DEFEATED: Virginia HB 1159: Mandates sterilization of stray
"frequent flyers"
OPPOSE: Washington, DC: Councilman
Graham at it again
DEFEATED: SB 110: Dogs in Pickups
SUPPORT the MDF's "No Pets Left Behind" - Pets in Foreclosure.
