Committee strikes proposed LVMC penalties and new pet‑shop licensing ban
Summary
Bill 2025‑14, which would have amended LVMC Title 7 penalties and barred newly licensed pet shops from selling certain animals, was stricken by the recommending committee.
The Las Vegas Recommending Committee voted on Aug. 4 to strike bill 2025‑14, a proposed amendment to LVMC Title 7 that would have revised penalties for violations and prohibited newly licensed pet shops from selling dogs, cats, rabbits or pot‑bellied pigs.
The measure was sponsored by Councilwoman Nancy Bruni and Mayor Shelley Berkeley and was removed from the committee’s agenda by motion. The transcript records the motion and the committee’s action; a roll‑call tally or the names of the mover and seconder do not appear in the public record.
Because the bill was stricken, the committee did not adopt any of the proposed penalty or licensing changes at this meeting. The transcript does not indicate whether the sponsors or staff plan to refile an amended proposal for future consideration.
