Hello everyone, AB 854 came out of the suspense file today and, in the chairwoman's (Assemblymember Carole Migden) words "passed by unanimous bipartisan support". If your State Assemblymember is on the Appropriations Committee please write a short thank you note to him or her for their YES vote. Thank you's are often forgotten and really are important. Also, please thank the chairwoman (Assemblymember Carole Migden) for her support and for the very fair analysis that came from her committee. Now, our bill will definitely be voted on by the entire Assembly on or before June 4th. So, if you haven't contacted your Assemblymember yet because you are new to this issue, or, because your Assemblymember was not on either the Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee, or the Appropriations Committee, please do so immediately. You can find out who represents you in the State Capitol by visiting our web page at http://www.ferretnews.org and going to the Know your Local CA Representatives. Enter your zip code and there you go!
