      AB 1634: It's Aliiiiive (well, sort of ...)

            NAIA just received word that California Assembly Member Lloyd 
Levine has finally submitted his long-awaited amendments to AB 1634, the 
so-called California Healthy Pets Act. This is the controversial mandatory 
spay/neuter bill Levine introduced in 2007. The amendments were offered to 
the California Senate Committee on Local Government to address the concerns 
of members who refused to support the bill in the form it was presented last 
session.

            NAIA understands - and it will come as no surprise to those who 
opposed this misguided bill and its numerous amendments in 2007 - that 
Assembly Member Levine's new round of amendments does not substantively 
address the concerns expressed by a majority of committee members last 
summer.

            The committee has made no announcements about their intent, but 
without significant amendments that address their concerns, it seems 
unlikely that the bill will garner the necessary support to pass out of 
committee this session.

            Please stay tuned or contact us for more information. Do NOT 
start writing your legislators yet. The Legislature is dealing with nearly 
2,000 new measures that have been introduced since January (including a 
number of new bills related to animals). It is imperative that we respect 
the committee process and marshal our resources for the time when they can 
be most effective.  We will keep you informed of any pending action at the 
committee level.  Save your energy for later.  Hopefully this time you'll 
get to write a thank you letter.
