  Georgia Update: Proposed Rule Change Will Not Impact Fanciers
http://www.akc.org/news/index.cfm?article_idA24
[Thursday, May 20, 2010]
On May 13, the Georgia Department of Agriculture published a notice of  
intent to adopt amendments to rules that would increase fees for  
animal shelters, kennels, pet dealers and stables. These fees are a  
part of an across-the-board increase in state fees that are designed  
to help offset state budget cuts that have been made necessary by the  
difficult economic times.

Some concern has been expressed about a new section [O.C.G.A. §  
4-11-14] that would require a $50 temporary permit fee for out of  
state pet dealers who wish to show, exhibit, sell, trade or conduct a  
similar activity in Georgia. This provision is designed to impact only  
dealers?those who sell or transfer large numbers of animals at a show  
or exhibition. This new fee does NOT apply to fanciers entering the  
state to exhibit their dogs at AKC dog shows.

AKC?s Georgia Federation, The Georgia Canine Coalition is working with  
the Department of Agriculture to help clarify this language and to  
ensure that there is no further confusion on this point.

View a copy of Agriculture Commissioner Irvin?s letter explaining the  
fee increases.
