Re: HB 2310, Relating to the powers and duties of the Texas Department of
Licensing
and Regulation, including the power to issue emergency orders and temporary
and emergency licenses, has been sent to a Conference Committee. This is
the bill that was hijacked by Senator John Whitmire and amended to include
the misnamed "Puppymill Bill." Rep. Edmund Kuempel, the bill author, did
not accept the amendment; therefore the Conference Committee was formed.
Contact all Conference Committee members below with this suggested wording:
"We ask that you remove Floor Amendment #1 from HB 2310. There was no
public hearing held and Rep. Edmund Kuempel objected to his bill being
amended. Actions such as this cause us to lose all faith in our elected
officials who don't appear to be representing us. You have been lied to
about this bill regulating "puppymills." It is a radical national "animal
rights" agenda to end all dog and cat breeding in the U.S. HSUS will be
back each legislative session to tighten the noose until they achieve their
agenda."
There are five representatives and five senators on the committee who decide
the fate of this bill. The committee hasn't met yet.
