The Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Standing Committee on Jan. 30 favorably recommended first substitute Senate Bill 201, a measure that would require animal shelters to notify interested rescue organizations of an intended euthanasia two days before the procedure. The motion to forward the substitute passed the committee 4–1.
