We have a similar bill pending here in New Jersey. I don't know for sure when it might come up for vote in the legislature but will check when I get back to work. From what I understand, support in favor of the bill is tremendous. A few months back, our legislature passed a bill that allows judges to issue protective orders for pets in domestic violence situations.

After 30 years on the job, I'm going to retire in September. From there I plan to team up with two friends in animal rescue and do legal research for animal welfare. Maybe this can be my contribution to improving the quality of life for animals everywhere.

Michigan - go for it!!!
