I just spoke with ASM Joan Buchanan, who will speak on the Assembly floor
AGAINST AB 272 but she told me that there has been little noise about this,
including letters, faxes, or phone calls.
So if we want the Assembly to oppose AB 272, we need to be making some more
noise. It will either be voted upon TOMORROW (Monday) or Thursday. So it
would be good to jam the fax machines of your Assembly member and email
inbox as well as making some phone calls. ASM Buchanan is well respected but
she cannot hold off a pass if the other members feel there is no fallout.
Just to remind us of the issue:
URGENT ALERT: California Rabies Bill AB 272 , which
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/asm/ab_0251-0300/ab_272_bill_20130419_amended_asm_v97.pdf
seeks to lower the age at which dogs must be vaccinated from 4 months to 3
months, will soon be scheduled for a final Assembly vote, and if passed,
it will move on to the Senate. Prior Assembly votes supporting AB 272 are
baffling as all 4 Assembly analyses (three of which contain inaccurate
information on state rabies laws) indicate AB 272 will NOT accomplish the
stated
goals of its sponsors, the Health Officers Association of California.
Lowering the required age of rabies vaccination to 3 months increases the
likelihood of adverse vaccine reactions as well as failure to immunize due
to residual maternal antibodies and interference from other puppy vaccines
given at 3 months. There is significant opposition to AB 272 from The
Rabies Challenge Fund, The California Federation of Dog Clubs, dog
organizations, veterinarians, and private individuals.
What You Can Do to Help
Contact your Assemblymembers , by phone and e-mail, the phone call will
take just a few seconds.

and ask them to OPPOSE Rabies Bill AB 272.
