Ohio Update: Senate Committee Will Consider Amendments to SB 95 on May  
11
http://www.akc.org/news/index.cfm?article_idA14
[Monday, May 10, 2010]
The Ohio Senate State & Local Government & Veterans Affairs Committee  
will likely consider amendments to Senate Bill 95 during its meeting  
on May 11, 2010. While no draft is currently available, the AKC  
understands that these amendments will further clarify changes that  
were previously adopted by the committee. No public testimony will be  
allowed at this meeting, and no vote is scheduled to be taken.
The AKC continues to closely monitor this legislation, which seeks to  
further regulate dog breeding in Ohio. The AKC strongly supports the  
humane treatment of dogs and the strict enforcement of existing Ohio  
laws regarding cruelty to animals (§959.13) and prohibitions  
concerning domestic animals (§959.131), which already prohibit the  
appalling conditions and treatment supporters of SB 95 seek to regulate.

The AKC believes that any attempts at further regulation must be  
carefully constructed to ensure that the laws are reasonable,  
enforceable, and not a violation of the rights of responsible dog  
breeders.
