The Mission Statement and Objectives
The NBC Legislative Committee recognizes the comprehensive nature and impact of proposed, pending and current legislation on its members at all levels. The mission of the National Beagle Club Legislative Committee is to inform its members about relevant legislative initiatives and provide the NBC and NBC members with a position statement. If appropriate, the Committee will suggest actions, which could be taken by the NBC and its members.
NBC General Position StatementThe NBC supports legislation that promotes hunting with beagles, responsible land stewardship, and responsible care of animals and furthers the advancement of our breed and its standards.
ObjectivesReview pending local and state legislation, which impacts the NBC and its members.
Inform the NBC and its members about the impact of pending legislation on the interests of the NBC and its members. Provide an analysis and position statement relative to pending legislation on a periodic basis.
Propose responsive actions to be taken by the NBC and/or its members in response to legislation of interest to the NBC and its members.
One of the first objectives is to prepare a periodic analysis of pending legislation of interest to the NBC and its members and to find an appropriate means to distribute it to the NBC members. The goal for such a periodic report is the start of 2009. There are many aspects of the Legislative Committee that will be discussed at a later date, but right now the formal formation and approval of the basic premise for the committee is the primary goal.
