In other words, the Bill bans the retail sale of breeding mill dogs/cats/other animals. Mr. Leventhal introduced Bill 50-14 on October 28 and there will be at public hearing on January 13 at 7:30pm at the Stella B. Werner Council Office Building located at 100 Maryland Ave, Rockville, MD 20850. Those who wish to sign up to testify can call 240-777-7803.
