A bill that would ban new pet stores from selling puppies and kittens, an attempt that proponents say would curtail trafficking from puppy and kitten mills, saw major changes Thursday in the House Agriculture, Livestock and Water Committee. House Bill 1102 passed on an 7-4 party-line vote and is now headed to the full House.
There are about a dozen pet stores in Colorado licensed to sell puppies and kittens, and only nine, all along the Front Range, do so on a regular basis, according to testimony during a nearly five-hour hearing Monday.
As introduced, the bill requires pet stores to provide customers with the pet s price, breeder information, the cost of financing the sale, if needed, as well as requiring that information for advertisements.

According to Jessica Matlock, CEO of La Plata Electric Association, the cooperative s board is talking to Tri-State Generation and Transmission about producing more of its power locally in part as an economic development opportunity. Two other co-ops, the Delta-Montrose Electric Association and the Kit Carson Electric Cooperative in Taos, N.M. have reached agreements to break their contracts.
A little over a year ago, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association released a blueprint for its energy future that was hailed by it and others as transformative. The Colorado-based wholesale power provider, long criticized for reliance on coal, said it would significantly expand its use of renewable energy and slash greenhouse-gas emissions.
