Basic English On The Situation At Hand

[Adam_Wysocki]

1.) This bill that I keep hearing about, what is it and what exactly would its passage mean to ME and MY pet Snakes?

If you own one of the species this law applies to, you will no longer be able to transport your pet snake from one state to another or export it from the country. The minute you cross state lines, you're committing a federal offense ... this includes shipping.

2.) What snakes species specifically will this apply to?

As of right now: Burms, African Rocks, Green Anacondas, Yellow Anacondas, Retics, and Boas

3.) What steps have been completed so far to make this law?

House and Senate Committee hearings, amendments, and votes to forward both bills to the House floor and Senate floor.

4.) What remaining steps still have to happen for this to become a law?

1. House Floor vote & Senate Floor vote.
2. Merging of the two bills in conference
3. Signature by the President.

5.) What specifically can I do to fight this?
