Update: Great news! This bill was signed into law by the Governor on 08/15/07.
Bill Description: If passed, this bill would require retailers to label all fur and fur trimmed garments “real fur” or “faux fur.” This law would apply to all fur products, regardless of their value. 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 8966 would fill in the loophole created by this $150 exception.

This legislation will enable consumers to make informed choices about the purchases they make.
