Update: This bill did not complete the legislative process prior to adjournment.
Bill Description: If passed, this bill would require manufacturers to certify to retailers that fur is not derived from the raccoon dog. This law would strengthen the existing ban on the sale of dog and cat fur. Also, under existing federal law, the Fur Product Labeling Act requires that garments made entirely or partly with real fur must have a label disclosing certain data. However, the existing law does not apply to fur trim or fur products that are sold for $150 or less. A 7869 would help to fill in the loophole created by this $150 exception.
