Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
SACRAMENTO, July 11 (UPI) -- A bill to require pet sterilization in California died in a state senate committee Wednesday when it failed to get sufficient support.
Assemblyman Lloyd Levine withdrew his legislation after he learned it would not gain enough support in a committee vote, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The Los Angeles County assemblyman said he would continue to seek support for his bill.
"We have six months to educate the committee," Nuys said. "I want to reach out again to the opponents."
Nearly 20,000 letters have been sent in from people opposing the bill, which has been one of the state senate's most heated issues.
Levine had previously amended his measure to allow California pet owners to seek permits that would exempt their animals from mandatory neutering or spaying.
He tried additional amendments Wednesday in an attempt to get more support from the five-member committee, but ultimately shelved the bill rather than seek a vote, the Chronicle reported.
