California: Help Pass Circus Cruelty Prevention Act Through Second Assembly Hearing

UPDATE: This action is now closed. SB 313 passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee on 6/25/19 by a 9-1 vote.

On Tuesday, June 18, 2019, SB 313—the Circus Cruelty Prevention Act—passed the California Assembly Committee on Water, Parks, and Wildlife by a 9-2 vote. The bill has now advanced to the Assembly Judiciary Committee and will be heard on Tuesday, June 25th.

If signed into law, SB 313—which was introduced by Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego)—would ban circus animal acts throughout California. Your help is urgently needed to ensure SB 313 passes through the Judiciary Committee!
