REVISED CALIFORNIA RABIES BILL AB 2000 -- PLEASE SUPPORT

REVISED CALIFORNIA RABIES BILL AB 2000 -- PLEASE SUPPORT

Responding to the public outcry, the quarantine clause in AB 2000 inserting a medical exemption in California's rabies law has been removed http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_2000_bill_20100602_amended_sen_v97.pdf, and The Rabies Challenge Fund is asking dog owners to voice their support for this bill. The bill has a hearing set for June 23rd in the Senate Health Committee. Please contact the members of the Senate Health Committee below and ask them to pass the bill.

Also below is a copy of the letter that I sent to the Senate Health Committeee on behalf of The Rabies Challenge Fund. Thanks to everyone who called and wrote the Rules Committee, this bill is now one we can support -- great work!
