ALERT: Oklahoma


Wesselhoff is at it again....watch for his new bill in Jan/Feb when session begins...he is currently drafting a new bill that will NOT be a state ban/restriction on pit bulls but will PERMIT local municipalities in the state to incorporate BSL....He is quoted as saying, "A similar measure failed last year; however, this time Wesselhoft said he could craft legislation that would let cities decide on banning the dogs, instead of a statewide ban."

"We need to give the authority back to the city councils and mayors because they're closer to the people,"

"However, the legislation will be met with some opposition."

Wesselhoft said he has heard from city leaders in Bartlesville and Tonkawa. He said that leaders there told him they were interested in pit bull bans.
