AB 7 is Placed into Suspense

[BradWillis]

Today Assembly Bill 7 was placed into suspense. Actually, this is normal procedure for any legislation that has money connected to it.

However, the analysis of the bill by the committee's consultant was not exactly favorable. It wasn't terrible, but you could tell that DFG were the only ones who were allowed to give input on the bill. The bill's analysis is still not posted on the legislative sites or I would share it with you.

So, we will be working on the members of the committee for the next week or so before they actually vote on the bill.

The only thing that I can suggest for anglers to do is to write to the Senate Appropriations Committee and tell them how important the bill is to you. If you click on the link for the email, you will have to write a brief message to the committee. Here is the link: http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/act/...APPROPRIATIONS

Hey, this only takes about 1 minute and at this point, would really help.

Thanks for all the support.

Now the count on the AB 7 Support Letters from the Friends of California Hatcheries site is:

650 AB 7 support letters to the Governor (and the Governor is noticing the letters)

800 AB 7 support letters to Assemblyman Dave Cogdill

It is not known how many anglers have sent an email to the Senate Appropriations Committee because the link goes to another site. Here is the link: http://www.aroundthecapitol.com/act/...APPROPRIATIONS

The Senate Appropriations Committee will vote on AB 7 again on Thursday Aug 25th. If they don't pass the bill, the bill is dead.

Please, if you haven't yet sent a letter, it's not too late.


Thanks to all who have sent letters.
