OPPOSE TX HB 413!
A Public Hearing on HB 413 is scheduled for  8:00 AM Tuesday, March 8, by 
the
Agriculture & Livestock Committee.  Room E1.014, Capitol Extension Building,
1st Floor Underground. This bill  is relating to the
confidentiality of certain information held by a  veterinarian. Bill sponsor
is Representative Jimmie Don Aycock,  DVM.

(http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/82R/billtext/html/HB00413I.htm) 
RPOA  OPPOSES this bill for the following reasons:

* Our pets' veterinary  records must be kept confidential unless there is a
request from a  municipal government regarding dog and cat bites and proof 
of
Rabies  Vaccinations - not released for any other reason.

* Rabies Certificates  contain extensive information about our animals, our
name, home address,  phone number, the pet species, color, age, size, breed,
sex and whether  they are spayed/neutered.

* These records could be used by  municipalities to bill pet owners for
annual pet licenses; to enforce  species and/or breed bans or regulations;
pet limits; number of litters  each year; and mandatory spay/neuter of pets.

* All other information  must be kept confidential also - just as our
personal medical records.  Veterinarians should not become "pet police" for
enforcement of city  ordinances.

Please contact the committee members below and tell them  you OPPOSE HB 413!
You DO NOT have to live in their district. After that,  do contact your own
representative and senator who can be found at  www.capitol.state.tx.us in
the Search Box on the bottom right side of the  home page.

Faxes and phone calls are best with emails last but still  effective. ALSO:
Print out this alert and either hand deliver or fax it to  your personal
veterinarian. Ask for his help.

Several years ago San  Antonio's Animal Care Services (ACS) demanded
veterinary clinics send their  clients' dog/cat Rabies Vaccination Records 
to
them. All local veterinary  clinics (except two clinics) refused to send
them to ACS - to their  credit.
