SB 876 by Flores: Burdensome Regulation

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Oppose
Senate Journal Page: 1208

SB 876 seeks to expand government regulation of breeders. SB 876 would lower the limit to include very small-scale breeders and is a clear example of government overreach. This type of regulation is opposed to free enterprise and serves to hassle small business owners that operate very small breeding operations. TFR is opposed to occupational licensing and the expansion of regulation in any industry. For these reasons, TFR opposes SB 876.
