The Senate Public Safety Committee will hold another hearing on AB 241 today after the adjournment of Senate floor session. Senator Steinberg was not present at the committee hearing earlier this week where the bill failed to pass on a 3-3 vote. Concerned dog owners are encouraged to contact the committee members are renew their opposition to the bill and to the fact that the lack of notice of this hearing is contrary to the democratic process.
Please thank Senators Benoit, Huff and Wright for their “No” votes Tuesday and ask them to continue to oppose the bill.
