FORWARDED from another list: Subject: MN Legislation Update Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:16:52 -0500 HF2469/SF2292- Dog and Cat breeder's Act - dead. Failed to be heard in committee in either house. HF3245- Ozment dangerous dog acts - task force/per se declaration of 5 breeds as dangerous - dead. Returned to author. Only under extraordinarily difficult circumstances can these bills be heard in committee and passed during this session. Since this is the end of the biennial session, in order for either bill to be reconsidered in the next session, they cannot be carried over as they were this session; they must be reintroduced. HF2906 - Paymar's Dangerous Dog Act - passed by Finance committee and had second reading in house on 3/19. Entered into the General Register. Is now eligible for debate by the whole house and amendment and passage. Is not on the calendar of the day for Tuesday, 3/25. SF2876 - Anderson's Dangerous Dog Act - passed by the Judiciary committee with several minor amendments to language. Three substantive amendments were made. First, they reduced the maximum waiting time for a hearing from 30 days to 7. Second, they replaced the requirement of being found "not guilty" with "not convicted". And third, they replaced the "reasonable adult" requirement in the provocation definition to "reasonable person", which ties in with current law. The bill was then referred to the Senate floor with recommendation to pass. It has not yet beenplaced on General orders. ************** Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
