Quick Update: HB 1332 Passed Out of Committee!
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
We’ll have a much more thorough, in-depth analysis later today. But I wanted to let everyone know that HB 1332, the Pet Quality Assurance Act, passed out of the House Committee last night, 11-2.

If you called or emailed any of the committee members to ask them to vote in support of the bill, now we ask you to do the same and THANK them for their support! Every committee member voted in favor of the bill except Lewis Moore and Charles Key.
Again, I’ll post a breakdown soon–but wanted to let everyone know the great news!
