Actually, what one needs to do is have the whole thing in print...strike the parts that PAWS is replacing, and insert the changes. It's what I used to do all day long when I worked at HUD..........believe me, it takes time. Here's another site where the current AWA can be found...this is the Act that's being amended. http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/legislat/awa.htm The new proposals can be found at http://www.pet-law.com/ along with an analysis of the changes, and the text of the bills from both the House and Senate (altho they began as identical proposals) can be found also at http://www.govtrack.us But you do need the Animal Welfare Act to know what's being changed...
