       The request for co-sponsorship for AB-250/SB-208, The Commerical Dog Breeders Licensure Bill, closed on April 24, 2009 at 5:00 pm. Many have mentioned the number of calls and emails from constituents urging them to do so! If your representatives are on this list, please email them and thank them.

       Many of you are asking how this support compares with past bills. In 2003-2004, AB536 gained 40 authors and co-sponsors. The CURRENT Smith -Krietlow bill has a total of 70 authors and co-sponsors! Congratulations to everyone who worked to get this great support to AB-250/SB-208!

Here is the complete list of the authors and co-sponsors -- two asked to be added at the Assembly vote on 27 October 2009 and are marked with a **:
