California Senate Bill 250 failed on the Assembly Floor 28-42. Forty- 
one votes were needed for passage, meaning Senator Florez needs 13  
additional votes to pass SB 250. Reconsideration was granted, allowing  
the bill to be voted on again today. If your Assemblymember voted No  
or Abstained, please thank him or her for their support and ask for  
their continued opposition to SB 250.

Charles Calderon, Chesbro, Davis, Evans, Furutani, Huber, John A.

AKC extends a sincere thanks and congratulations to all the fanciers,  
concerned dog owners, breeders, federations and clubs who worked to  
defeat this legislation. While the battle is not yet over, it is clear  
that the educational efforts have paid off and that legislators have  
seen that SB 250 will negatively impact responsible owners and will  
not improve animal control in California.
