SB5651 (Puppy Mill Bill) PASSES House Floor Debate, on April 8th, 2009




SB5651 PASSES House Floor Debate
April 8th, 2009 @ 3:30 p.m. The link that I provide below is the hearing for SB5651, on the House Floor Debate, on April 8th, 2009. Enjoy! There were two amendments that went for vote on the House Floor, as well. They were Amendment 490, in which no one showed to testify, and therefore it FAILED. The second amendment was Amendment 516, and there were two people who testified in regards to Amendment 516, and they were Rep. Judy Warnick, from the 13th District (Moses Lake), and she urged a "Yes Vote" to support this amendment (which FAILED). The second person to testify on Amendment 516 was Rep. Jamie Pedersen, from the 43rd District (Seattle), and he urged a "No Vote" against this amendment (which FAILED). In regards to SB5651 (the actual bill) there were three people to testify on this bill. The first person was Rep. Jamie Pedersen, from the 43rd District (Seattle), and he urged a "Yes Vote", in support of SB5651. He also testified that eight (8) months ago his family adopted a young Mini Golden Doodle, from a puppy mill, not knowing what it was at the time. The second person to testify was Rep. Judy Warnick, from the 13th District (Moses Lake), and she urged a "No Vote" against SB5651. The third person to testify was Rep. Tom Campbell (one of my favorites), from the 2nd District (Roy), and he urged a "Yes Vote", in support of SB5651. Rep. Tom Campell has five (5) Rottweiler's of his own, and is a true animal lover.
When you click on the link below to watch the video you will see the minutes left remaining in the video appear in the bottom right hand corner. If you move the cursor at the bottom of the video until the minutes remaining say "12:20" it will be at the end of the previous bill heard, and start at the begining of the bill, for SB5651. Enjoy, and Thank You to everyone who supported this bill, testified on the bills behalf, and for the work that everyone did towards this bill.
