Please urge House Leadership to call S.B. 594 to a vote

Dear Legislator,
As your constituent, I respectfully request that you urge House Leadership to call bipartisan S.B. 594, legislation to prohibit predatory pet leasing schemes, for an immediate House vote. Unbelievably, in Connecticut, it is still legal for anyone who sells a pet (pet shops, online pet sellers) to engage in predatory leasing or contracting schemes that exploit animals and the Connecticut consumers who care about them! These leases and contracts purport to help consumers bring home high-priced animals through apparently affordable monthly payments that, in fact, extract excessive sums from them over many years, often with heavy default penalties – including forfeiture of their beloved pet! SB 594 overwhelmingly passed the Senate on a bipartisan basis. Please urge House Leadership to call this important humane bill for an immediate floor vote! Thank you for your consideration of my request.
