Urgent! Please call each member of the CA Assembly Judiciary Committee today! Click here for contact info! Tell them that you oppose AB 2296! The hearing for this bill will be tomorrow, Thursday, April 17th.

Tomorrow, the California Assembly Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on AB 2296, an industry-driven bill that seeks to prohibit advocacy groups and journalists from conducting investigations on criminal conduct regarding animals, reviewing documents, and sharing information with state and local law enforcement.

LCA opposes AB 2296 because too many "legal" research facilities are not in compliance with Animal Welfare Act reporting which is intended to minimize pain and distress for research animals. AB 2296 is also unconstitutional, as it would infringe on law-abiding citizens' freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and access to important public information.
