A Florida Democrat has submitted legislation that would ban dogs from sticking their heads out of car windows, along with banning dogs from sitting on drivers' laps and requiring all dogs to be in crates if traveling in motor vehicles.
Florida's Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book filed SB 932, the Florida Standard reports, called the Humane Cosmetics Act. The bill's summary states that it bans the "manufacturing, importing for profit, selling, or offering for sale" any cosmetics that were tested on animals, while also banning the declawing of cats.
The bill would also require the state to create a publicly accessible website that lists the names of those convicted of "animal abuse offenses; providing penalties for specified violations, etc."
However, the bill's actual text immediately states that it is "prohibiting a person from taking specified actions relating to the transportation of dogs on public roadways."
The bill prohibits a person from holding a "dog in his or her lap or allow a dog to be in such a position as to interfere with the person’s control over the driving mechanism."
You don’t need a law for that...it goes without saying since you do not have control of the vehicle.
It is comforting to know that Florida Sen. Lauren Book (D-Broward) believes ALL other problems are fixed and this is now the most important issue to be resolved.
Florida is sooo lucky to have her.
.
Libtard from the north trying to bring their control bs to Florida
Our humble leaders are demented.
Lauren Book is a trained professional busybody, now weaponized by the ability to write new laws for consideration.
I hope she fails!
But...take them in a car and open a window...their face goes out the window into a 40 mph wind.
“FL drivers are already some of the worst ever,”
Come on up to Montgomeridishu Alabama to see some really bad drivers.
Half these retards are from NOLA courtesy of Hurricane Katrina, and the other half are just home grown vegetables who shouldn’t be trusted with anything bigger than a Matchbox car.
The pony tail hides the Schrader valve on her neck.
This law is pure anti-Romney bigotry!
Nah, rommy likes his dogs on car roofs.
Nope, the law also bans transporting a dog on the roof, so it’s an anti-Mitt legislation.
As described in the article, this bill is an absolute grab bag of animal welfare/rights prohibitions. Cosmetics testing. Cat declawing. Unrestrained dogs in cars. It reads like a wish list from the Karen Animal Welfare League which the sponsor simply submitted as given to her.
I’m sure she’s fun to live with
Here in N Georgia every pickup has a dog hanging out
It is because the dogs are competing with the Democrats. And, Democrats don’t like competition.
There are bad drivers everywhere one goes. That is my observation from having driven all over the country for the last half century.
Slap his face and throw him to the Pit Bulls.
Will the law apply to mooning???????
LOL!
