UPDATE: 6/9/06 - PET EVACUATION BILL (La. SB 607)

The House Appropriations Committee
is meeting on Monday, June 12, to vote on La. SB 607

Thanks for the emails, letters and phone calls you sent to the Judiciary Committee. The committee did not convene because there wasn't a quorum, but no worries! Because of the incredible public support (your letters and calls), there was a move to attach it to another bill so that it could go directly to Appropriations and bypass Judiciary altogether. The House Appropriations Committee is meeting on Monday, June 12 to vote on it! Your grassroots efforts in contacting legislators have been highly effective.

We have two more steps to go: 1) passing Appropriations, and 2) passing the House floor. Your voices are needed once again; they are crucial to winning the bill’s passage at each step along the way.

A strong presence will also make a difference at the Appropriations Committee meeting on Monday, so please be there if you can.

State Capitol, Baton Rouge
Committee on Appropriations
12:00 Noon : June 12, 2006
Location: Committee Room 5

Talking Points

  • Please let them know that you support the bill in its original language (SB 607), and urge them to not support any last minute amendments that will dilute the bill’s effectiveness.

  • This bill will save the lives of people because we’re saving their pets.

  • Passage of this bill will define Louisiana as a leader with this lifesaving, groundbreaking legislation.

  • A lifesaving measure is a worthwhile expense.



Please flood the committee members (listed below) with your e-mails, letters and phone calls urging their support and passage of the Pet Evacuation Bill.

Also copy Governor Blanco’s office on any correspondence. The Governor's office needs to know you're watching; they've been the hardest sell.
