PIJAC....Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council  is another group with whom we 
should have a good working relationship.  They are on top of every bill, and 
focus on those bills which impact the pet industry (Pet stores, commercial 
breeders, and lots more.)

Public Hearing Set for Nevada Bill 

Posted: Friday, February 20, 2009, 5:19 p.m., EST 
Nevada state legislators plan to hold a public hearing on Monday, Feb. 23, 
on a proposed measure requiring pet retailers, among others, to notify 
customers about local sterilization requirements for dogs and cats. 
Under Assembly Bill 15, a retailer or dealer who sells a dog or a cat would 
be required to provide a written statement to the purchaser that discloses any 
sterilization requirements mandated by local ordinance. Those who fail to 
comply with the disclosure requirements would be subject to a fine not to 
exceed $250 for the first violation, $500 for the second violation and $1,000 
for 
each subsequent violation. 
Nevada statutes already require pet retailers to disclose information about 
the dog or cat itself, such as where the animal came from and its medical 
history. 
In addition to retailers, veterinarians would also be required to post notice 
of sterilization requirements in their offices. Government entities with 
jurisdiction over a public park in which dogs or cats are allowed would be 
required to post a notice in the park. 
The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources, Agriculture and Mining has set 
the bill for a public hearing at 1:30 p.m. in Carson City. 
The _Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council_ (http://www.pijac.org/) has issued 
an alert about the proposed measure. According to PIJAC, the bill does no t 
require that localities inform pet stores of sterilization ordinances nor does 
it specify which localities pet retailers must notify purchasers about. 
PIJAC claims the bill is not clear if pet retailers and dealers need only 
provide 
information about the jurisdiction in which they operate or about any 
locality in chi a customer may reside. The organization questioned whether 
retailers would have to research and update the ordinances for every locality 
in the 
state.
