Hi Mike, I'm going to let Andrew address this as I had no imput on this bill. Shoot, I even aggree with you in point, BUT, if some regulation is not in place at a state level I can assure you sooner or later a bill will pass that will ban or regulate to the point of noncompliance. Therein lies the danger. None of us like regulation. Shoot everyone knows how I feel about it, and it even got me in serious trouble with the law. I think it's far better to be regulated than banned and make NO mistake a ban is likely without regulation sooner or later. The single biggest victory here is NOT the bill but the fact it was promulgated and introduced by the herp community. In my lifetime this has never happened before and I remember when the wheel was invented..As I said I agree with most of what you said but think about HOW the bill was introduced instead of the fact of having to deal with another law we didn't want in the first place. Wishing you all the best Mike.....TC
