A> CALIFORNIA: Senate Bill 621, imposing an annual dog breeder permit and
A> requiring dog breeders to obtain a sales and use tax permit from the
A> State Board of Equalization, has not yet been scheduled for an
A> interim hearing.  SB 621 requires dog breeders to provide a sales
A> receipt to the buyer, keep a record of sales for the State Board of
A> Equalization, and include a valid business street address and telephone
A> number when placing an ad for the sale of any dog.  Further, this
A> legislation requires the local agency or animal control office to
A> annually inspect the facility of dog breeders and certify compliance
A> with the dog breeder requirements by issuing the annual permit.

A> The amendments offered to the bill will change the definition of

A> district office to get a copy of the amendments being offered,

A> ILLINOIS: LAKE COUNTY passed a limit law that probihits individuals
A> with less than 0.5 acre of land from owning more than 3 dogs
A> and 3 cats.   People with 0.5-1.5 acres of land can have up to
A> 4 dogs and 4 cats.  Those with more than 1.5 acres may apply for
A> a multiple animal permit.  This costs $75 annually and allows
A> owners to keep a maximum of 5 dogs and 5 cats.  Because fanciers
A> in the area objected so strenuously to the new law, the Board of
A> Health held a public hearing in June.  The Board of Health has
A> given area dog fanciers three months to come up with alternatives
A> to the existing ordinance.  The BoH will then review the
A> proposed alteratives and consider amending the limit law.  The
A> Canine Legislation department will work with area fanciers to
A> develop a proposal that will address the County's animal
A> control needs without limiting the number of dogs a family can
A> own.

A> facilities.  The town council has not come out with a formal
A> proposal, but dog fanciers in the area are preparing to make
A> their views about arbitrary dog limits known to the council.
