 AKC URGENT ALERT: CA AB 1634 to Change - AKC Vigorously Opposes!
Date of Article: August 21, 2008
Late yesterday we received a proposed 12th amendment to the wording of CA AB 1634 which Lloyd Levine's staff presented
to our lobbyist. Also, we understand that Mr. Levine attempted to amend his bill in the Senate, in spite of the
fact that he had assured the AKC through our lobbyist that the bill was in its final form. As a result of this
last minute attempt, we no longer have confidence in the definition of this bill or the credibility of its author.
The AKC is outraged and dismayed by Mr. Levine's last minute action to remove the incentives that were put in place
to recognize responsible dog ownership. The new amendment will allow local government to avoid providing discounted
licenses for owners who microchip, or owners who microchip and spay/neuter, their animals.
A primary reason AKC moved to a neutral position was because it reinforced and rewarded responsible behavior. We
believe the process to advance this bill is no longer being conducted in a forthright and transparent manner. Given
Mr. Levine's recent tactics and the fact that we no longer feel confident that an acceptable bill will be produced,
a neutral position is no longer appropriate. Therefore, AKC must vigorously oppose this legislation.
Please immediately call and email your State Senator and ask them to oppose AB 1634.
For more information, contact AKC's Government Relations Department at (919) 816-3720, or e-mail doglaw@akc.org
