Nosey's Bill will be coming up for a vote in the New Jersey Assembly and State House this January. We need as many New Jersey residents to call their Legislators ASAP in order to support this Bill. As of the last update, this Bill will go to an Assembly vote on January 4th, 2018.

Hi Everyone,
Great news !!!! The New Jersey State Assembly's Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee voted in favor of bill (A1923) on May 17, 2018 !!! It is now scheduled to be up for a vote in the Senate on May 31, 2018. If it passes the Senate, it will then be sent to Governor Murphy's desk for his signature to become law. I will keep you updated.
Thank you all for supporting this petition !!

As expected, outgoing Governor Christie vetoed the Bill. The Bill is being reintroduced as A1923. Once again, please call your Legislator and ask him/her to please support this Bill. The new Governor, Phil Murphy, looks like he will sign this bill once it get to his desk.

Thanks again for all of your support ! Without you, these animals would have no voice.
