Since the House and Senate have both passed different versions of the budget, a conference committee comprised of members of both chambers will develop a compromise. The members of this committee are listed below. Please take a moment to contact these committee members. Tell them you oppose the new definition of pet dealer that would require licensing and inspections based solely on the number of intact females someone owns -- regardless of whether they are breeding. Also let them know you oppose transferring oversight of the Animal Welfare Act from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Public Safety. Read AKCs fact sheet on these changes for talking points and more information. If you are a constituent, please be sure to mention that when contacting their office: This will make a big difference to them. Thank you for your efforts on these and previous communications. Together, we can prevent legislation that would harm the future of dogs and responsible breeders. *Conference Committee Members: Rep.
