NARBC Schaumburg
50 more tables than last year! Schaumburg NARBC keeps growing and it hits this weekend. All of your favorite breeders and vendors will be waiting to see you and the show will be packed with everything you want to see and buy.

There will be a benefit auction at 6:00 Saturday night! It will be in the Nirvana Ballroom on the second floor of the same convention center as the NARBC show. Stop by the USARK booth for full details. Thank you to everyone who donates and joins us. These fundraisers are always fun and great events for the herp community.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We always need volunteers to help with auction and other duties. Please email vanessa@usark.org if you want to help. Thank you!

ALERT: Lacey Act Amendments
UPDATE July 24, 2023: Representative Anna Paulina Luna (FL) will be introducing a companion bill to Rubio's S1614, also titled "Lacey Act Amendments of 2023." Without informing on the full story, unintended consequences, or blatant overreach, Luna's office claims the bill will fix "loopholes in the Lacey Act." We will provide more updates when available.

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) introduced his ‘‘Lacey Act Amendments of 2023’’ earlier this session. This is the same bill we saw from Rubio as S626 in 2021 and the same language that was covertly slipped into the nearly 3,000-page House COMPETES Act in 2022.

Find more details and a comprehensive FAQ at https://usark.org/23lacey/. We will be updating this alert.
