We have kept the Legislative Information from past sessions on here for those of you seeking animal legislative history and what has been submitted whether passed or not. 04 is not available. You will also find this history including 2010 and beyond located at www.fohowvla.org which is our new legislative action site for FOHO WV. PDF files of most animal bills are available also thanks to Jeanne Guise of Morgan County.
At times we have listed those who have voted against important animal legislation. The intent here is so those of you from certain areas can contact your legislators to make them aware of the value of animal legislation in protecting animal welfare in West Virgina. You will see comments from Sylvia Shafer and at times an editorial comment from FOHO. We have attempted to keep the information just as it occurred daily at the state capitol.
We are fairly certain this is the only record of its kind for animal legislation in West Virginia. This is the daily activity at the state capitol from our perspective of an animal advocacy agency.

Please check our affiliate legislative action website for a recount of the 2010 legislative session www.fohowvla.org. Our spay neuter bill was placed into interim study. We will regroup on that bill and other important legislation for next year. Notable bills that passed were the 3 year rabies bill, a livestock standards bill and a spay neuter bill for adopted greyhounds. |
