SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 59
(By Senators Hunter, Yoder, Jenkins and Unger)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study
providing low-cost spay and neuter programs across the state,
including the feasibility of veterinarians working in private-
sector mobile vans equipped to provide spay and neuter
services to low-income and disadvantaged residents.
Whereas, Some areas of this state are besieged by increasing
numbers of unwanted and free-roaming domestic animals which
threaten livestock and spread disease among other animals; and
Whereas, Many owners of domestic animals are without the means
to spay or neuter their domestic animals or to properly care for
their unplanned offspring; and
Whereas, The use of a privately donated mobile van equipped to
provide low-cost spay and neuter services to the citizens of
Barboursville, Cabell County, and the surrounding areas has proven
to be cost-effective and efficient; and
Whereas, Because of restrictions placed on the use of these
properly equipped mobile vans, they are prohibited from serving a
more extensive area; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance study providing low-cost spay and neuter programs across the state, including the feasibility of
veterinarians working in private-sector mobile vans equipped to
provide spay and neuter services to low-income and disadvantaged
residents; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2006, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
