(May 31, 2011) -- A bill introduced by state Senator Ted Lieu (D., southbay) that would require owners of an animal claimed or adopted from a shelter to implant a microchip in their animal upon release is poised for a full state Senate vote as soon as today (May 31) or in the coming days.
Later today (May 31) at 3:30 p.m., the LB City Council's State Legislation Committee (O'Donnell, Johnson, Garcia) will consider whether to recommend full Council support for the measure...although a state Senate legislative analysis already lists the City of Long Beach as among the bill's supporters. SB 702, carried by state Senator Ted Lieu (D., southbay), would require an owner of an animal that is adopted or impounded and claimed by the owner from a local animal shelter to implant an identifying microchip in the animal upon release, if a microchip is available. (If a microchip is not available, the owner would be require to implant a microchip within 30 days). A state Senate legislative analysis includes a list (compiled May 17) indicating the City of Long Beach supports the measure...along with Social Compassion in Legislation (bill source), Animal Legal Defense Fund, California Animal Control Directors Association, Humane Society of the United States, Santa Cruz Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Take Me Home Animal Rescue SB 702 is opposed by the California Responsible Pet Owners' Coalition (whose website states that the group was "founded by a group of like-minded animal lovers to fight oppressive anti-animal legislation in the State of California. Our founding supporters include pet owners, rescue volunteers, working dog owners, service and therapy animal owners and clients, trainers, veterinarians, as well as show cat and dog breeders and enthusiasts.") From the Senate legislative analysis of SB 702: ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: Social Compassion in Legislation supports this bill stating that microchipping is a safe and effective way to ensure that animals are returned to their owners. Sen. Lieu introduced and is carrying SB 702 at the urging of Social Compassion in Legislation, the group headed by Judy Mancuso that championed last year's SB 250 The Pet Responsibility Act, which sought to require stray dogs to be spayed or neutered while allowing allowing owners to keep unaltered dogs as long as the animals were licensed. That measure, supported by LB City Hall [and editorially supported by LBReport.com] passed the full Senate but failed passage in the state Assembly.
