NYSAPF wants to thank all the sponsors of our bills and of the Companion Animal Capital Fund for their leadership in getting all of our bills passed this year. We are four for four. We’ve outlawed pet leasing. Cut the hold time for unidentified cats. And, changes SPCA peace officer residency requirements for the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society and the Humane Society of the Hudson Valley. Our thanks goes to Assemblywoman Deborah Glick and State Senator Phil Boyle for the Companion Animal Capital Fund, to Assemblyman Matt Titone and State Senate Carl Marcellino for the pet leasing bill, Assemblywoman Addie Jenne and State Senator Kathy Marchione for the cat bill, Assemblyman John McDonald and State Senate Kathy Marchione for the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society’s HLE residency bill and Assemblyman Ken Zembrowski and State Senator David Carlucci for the Hudson Valley Humane Societies HLE residency bill.
