An important effort to bridge the gap between science and policy, AB 49 Would make various legislative findings and declarations relating to the nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in livestock, and would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would address the overuse of antibiotics in livestock production. The bill was introduced by Assembly Member Kevin Mullin from Assembly District 22 (San Mateo area). Assembly Member Mullin had this to say: “This is a challenging issue which is opposed by powerful interest groups,” stated Assemblymember Mullin. “I plan to work with my colleagues and the Governor in the coming session, to craft a measure that gets to the heart of the problem. Everyone should be concerned about increasing bacterial immunity to antibiotics and the very real threat it poses to public health.” You can learn more here: asmdc.org/members/a22/news-room/press-releases/speaker-pro-tem-mullin-introduces-four-bills
