Since the 1900s, The Federation has actively worked on state legislation that benefits and protects animals.  The Legislative Committee is made up of Federation members and supporters who along with our paid lobbyist track and address legislation affecting animals in our state.  We network with local agencies and national groups including the Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA to leverage the influence that our vast membership can have on policy makers.

Legislative Update May 2009

Updated:05/26/09


We started this year’s work with a lobby day in Olympia on February 12th. This

event was sponsored by HSUS. It was very well attended. There was something

for everyone, starting with basic information so beginners would know how a bill

starts, as will as opportunities for letter writing and appointments with meeting

attendees, Representatives and Senators. A very big thanks to HSUS for this

opportunity.
