As Director for MCABSL ...I am urging everyone to please take action now and write, call, e mail or fax this committee below and your legislators, to pass and approve the two bills mentioned below. This is the best shot Miami~Dade County and the rest of Florida, will ever have of removing BSL. Thanks!
Florida state law prohibits muncipalities from passing BSL, but allows BSL that was in place prior to October 1, 1990. The most famous of these grandfathered laws is the breed ban in Miami-Dade County .
Just-filed Florida House Bill 997 and its companion Senate Bill 1322 are very simple bills that remove the grandfather clause. If these bills pass, Miami-Dade County (and any other municipality with grandfathered BSL) will be forced to repeal.
HB 997 has just been assigned to the Agriculture & Natural Resources Subcommittee. No hearing has been scheduled yet. Please contact the following members and urge them to pass HB 997. (Email block for cut-and-paste.)
