[RC] OT- Info 4 CA List Members - Raven

Hi,
I don't live in CA, but I believe this is an important bill that does
to be passed. Can you please share this with your CA contacts? Thank
you!!!  Raven

Time Line SENSITIVE!!  Due before 12/31/2005 ~!!!

Subject: Bill AB 450 - Cal Animals: Disaster Preparedness

*YOU have to mail or fax to be received by December 31, 2005***

We have a Bill coming before the State of California which should
bring us one step closer to allowing everyone to evacuate with our
Pets in case of disaster.

It's *Bill AB 450** **-* *Cal Animals: Disaster Preparedness*, put
forward by Speaker pro Tempore Leland Yee.

While this bill does not guarantee people's evacuation with their
pets, it does require that the very important concerns of pet and
animal owners be discussed and included in disaster planning.  This is
not presently the case in some parts of California.

An act to add Section 8608 to the Government Code, relating to
disaster preparedness.


*8608. The standardized emergency management system established
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8607 shall take into account
the needs of individuals with household pets, service animals and
livestock following a major disaster or emergency.*


I would like Bill AB 450 passed in early January so that I can
evacuate with my pets in case of a disaster.

Give yourself the best holiday gift ever!!!  This is a beginning in
the effort to provide disaster preparedness for your pets.

This state law will also conform California state law to Congressman
Tom Lantos' PETS Act, HR HR 3858, introduced in the House of
Representatives in September.

*FYI:*  AB 450 (presently a violent video bill on the inactive file)
will not incorporate this new language until the Legislature is again
in session, on January 4.
