Kansas House considers breeder bill and health task force
Federally licensed dog and cat breeders would face regular inspections by the Kansas Livestock Commissioner and could be banned from licensing for cruelty. The measure also requires automatic inspections when public complaints arise and includes a $25 state license fee. A separate measure would create a citizen task force to study AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, while a sales tax shift aims to bolster state general fund balances by about $25 million by reducing local government revenue.
