Legislative Awareness
The Competes Act is dying! Thank you for your help to accomplish this. However, there is a chance the new Bill S1260, designed to take its place, may include the same language from the Lacey Act that will harm aviculture. We, the AFA, are monitoring the situation and will post an update here as soon as we know what the status of this Lacey Act (Section 71102) is and if its been included in a new Bill. Please keep checking back.
