HOUSE LAWMAKERS ARE VOTING FOR LEGISLATION THAT AIMS TO BRING AN END TO PUPPY MILLS. 

THE MEASURE PROHIBITS PET STORES FROM SELLING DOGS AND CATS OBTAINED FROM A BREEDER. THEY CAN ONLY SELL PETS THEY GET FROM ANIMAL CONTROL OR A SHELTER SAYS BILL SPONSOR, REPRESENTATIVE ANDREW CHESNEY OF FREEPORT.

REPRESENTATIVE JOYCE MASON OF GURNEE IS A SUPPORTER.

THE LEGISLATION STILL LETS PEOPLE BUY DOGS AND CATS FROM PRIVATE BREEDERS. IT NOW MOVES TO THE SENATE FOR CONSIDERATION.
