Press Release: Molly's Bill Passes Assembly Agriculture with Unanimous Support
Bill Protects Man's Best Friend from Inflexible State Mandate Endangering Their
Lives
Sacramento- Today, Assemblyman Curt Hagman's legislation, AB 258,
affectionately known as "Molly's Bill" passed the Assembly Agricultural
Committee with a 9-0 vote.
AB 258 is named after Molly, a dog with chronic autoimmune disease. Molly's
owner, Sam Gadd, has been refused a license by the local designated public
health official because Molly is not able to receive a rabies vaccine.
According to Molly's veterinarian, if the vaccine is applied, it could have
serious adverse effects, which are very dangerous to Molly.
AB 258 will protect California canines from unintended consequences of regular
anti-rabies vaccine. AB 258 will create an exemption from anti-rabies vaccine
for dogs a licensed veterinarian determines are likely to have dangerous or
lethal reactions to the vaccine.
"I'm thrilled the agriculture committee agreed about the necessity of AB 258.
Dogs are our best friends and we should make sure that California's laws are
flexible enough to keep the public and our pets safe," stated Hagman, "I would
like to thank the Chair, Assemblymember Galgiani, and her staff for their work
on this bill."
