Quick Update on Indiana Python Bill 1288:
I have been in contact with Linda Lawson for about 4 months now. We were discussing how to refine this bill in an effort to make it "make sense" while maintaining a safe environment for our community. These were of course our main objectives. The goal for Representative Lawson was NOT to ban these reptiles, but honestly to make sure our communities were safe. I believe she just needed a little help in refining this bill. Having said that, I have some good news for now. This si a quote from Rep. Lawson earlier this morning. "The only way this bill will ever see the light of day is if I resurrect it and that will not happen next year and I have no intentions of doing that..." This is a win for Indiana for now. But I have confidence that if/when this comes back up, we can help the community in a realistic way. Thanks for everyone's help!
