Next hearing is July 14.

The Public Safety Committee voted 4 to 2 (with 1 abstention) to refer the bill to the Arts and Entertainment committee.  Chairman Quirk of the Public Safety Committee abstained from the vote. The formal motion was "do pass and be re-referred to the Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media."   The vote tally was:

 

Aye: Jones-Sawyer, Lopez, Low, Santiago

No: Lackey, Melendez

No Votes Recorded: Quirk

 

As Kari mentioned, CA SB 716 is scheduled to be heard in the Arts and Entertainment Committee on July 14.  The contact information for the Committee members is listed below, and the information is also updated on the CFA/OABA website at www.grassroots.circusfan.org.   Also posted on the grassroots website are two letters to the editor to the Long Beach Press Telegraph – one from HSUS supporting the bill, and a response letter from Steve Payne at Feld Entertainment.

Thank you!

Mary Lou
