Ohio Update: Senate Committee to Vote on Breeder Bill on May 26

[Friday, May 21, 2010]

The Ohio Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Affairs  
Committee will be taking testimony and likely voting on Senate Bill 95  
on Wednesday, May 26, 2010. We encourage all Ohio dog owners and  
breeders to consider attending the hearing and contacting the  
committee with any concerns you have with the proposal.
Senate Bill 95 seeks to regulate kennels that produce at least nine  
litters of puppies and sell sixty or more dogs in a calendar year. It  
also creates a new Kennel Control Authority Board to regulate the law  
and conduct inspections.
Â
The sponsor has worked with interested parties and made numerous  
positive changes to the bill, including clarifying confusing and  
problematic language and ensuring proper breeder representation within  
the Kennel Control Authority Board.

our remaining concerns with the bill. We understand that further  
amendments may be added prior to Wednesdayâ??s vote, and AKCâ??s  
comments reflect the bill as currently written.
