We’re about 6 weeks into the new sessions and many of the bills are re-introductions. Fortunately, these “re-treads” are pro-animal. We’ve spoken to some Michigan legislators and can expect other animal friendly bills in the next few months. The “AFA Action” column of the Tracker represents careful consideration and discussion of the bill by the board of Attorneys for Animals.
The legislative climate has changed in the US Congress with new committee chairs. While animal advocacy is a bi-partisan issue, the Democratic majority in the House bodes well for a significant piece of legislation. The PACT Act, H.R. 724 essentially makes it a federal crime to commit the most egregious acts of animal abuse, and is therefore being called a “federal animal cruelty law.” It had been introduced in the past two sessions of Congress and had passed the Senate unanimously. However, it never got a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee to which it was assigned. The new Chair of Judiciary, however, is a co-sponsor of H.R. 724 so advocates are hopeful that it will pass this time.
We’ve added additional information to the Legislative Tracker, including information on co-sponsors and whether any co-sponsors sit on the committee to which the bill is assigned.
Here’s to a productive two years. Be sure to follow our updates.
Without further ado, here’s the Tracker. A version with clickable links is available here.
