    HB 648. TODAYS NEWS. IMPORTANT NC GUYS

    Today HB 648 was read in (had its first reading) in the House and was referred to the Wildlife Resources Committee, as expected. This Committee is also co-chaired by the 2 gentlemen who are the prin****l sponsors of the bill (and this is not a very favorable Committee for us given that the large majority of its members are not from areas where deer hunting with dogs is allowed). Also - and this is a very good thing! - Speaker Moore included a serial referral to the House Rules Committee if it receives a favorable vote in the WR Committee. The chair of the Rules Com is Rep David Lewis of Harnett Co. EVERYONE should be politely reaching out to Rep Lewis and voicing their opposition to this bill. Because of the serial referral, the bill must now go through his Committee once it leaves the WR Com; and once it's in Rules, Rep Lewis has no obligation to bring it up. Many troublesome bills are sent to the Rules Com to die. That needs to happen with this bill, and Rep Lewis can make it happen. Everyone shouldask him for his help!

    So call wildlife committee members in the house

    AND CALL AND E MAIL RULES COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN REP LEWIS and ask for his help if it gets out
    of Wildlife Resources Committee
