Following is a link to the actual bill: Stormy From Pet-law: HB 538 Passes Virginia House of Delegates The subject line about says it all. Following hearings in House Agriculture and House Appropriations Committees where the average reaction was "We have to hear objections, but let's get it over with quickly," both committees passed the bill. HB 538, 'PAWS PLUS for Virginia' was passed today by the House of Delegates, 91Y-6N. It will now go to the Senate where we expect it to be heard on Monday the 18th in the Senate Agriculture Committee. THIS DATE WON'T BE KNOWN FOR SURE UNTIL SOMETIME THIS FRIDAY. The bill was slightly amended during its trip through the House of Delegates.
