Before a hearing room packed with opponents yesterday, the Assembly Appropriations Committee moved to place Senate Bill 1221 on “suspense.”
Bills are placed on suspense when the fiscal impact to the state is significant enough to warrant further consideration. Senate Bill 1221 that would ban the use of dogs in bear and bobcat hunting, would directly cost the state of California nearly half a million dollars in license and tag sales annually. This does not take into account the tens of millions in economic activity generated by hound hunters to rural communities each year.
“While it is a good sign that the bill was placed on suspense, the fight is definitely not over. The committee will make their final determination on SB 1221 by the end of next week,” said Evan Heusinkveld, USSA’s Director of State Services. “It’s critical that all California sportsmen contact members of the Appropriations committee TODAY and URGE them to ‘Keep SB 1221 on Suspense’. This bill will be devastating to California, its citizens and its wildlife.”
Take Action! California sportsmen must contact the following members TODAY in opposition to Senate Bill 1221. Ask them to “Keep SB 1221 on Suspense.”
