House lawmakers listened to amendments but decided not to vote on legislation that would repeal restrictions on dog breeding.
RunTime:  0:38
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: Amendments were proposed then added to the bill.

Its sponsor Sedalia, Republican Representative Stanley Cox says now it looks like legislation already passed in the Senate.

But after the amendments, Republican leaders delayed a vote on Cox's bill.

Cox says he likes the Senate bill and would not mind if it gets passed instead.

Actuality:  COX9.WAV
Run Time:  00:12
Description: "It preserves what the voters wanted, they wanted to protect animals from abuse, but not to drive the people who are engaged, the good people who are engaged in the business in breeding pets out of business."

The Senate bill is now scheduled to go to a House committee on March 29.
