IN: Lawmaker still hopeful for pet store legislation

Indianapolis (AP) - A state lawmaker says she's not giving up on trying to get legislation passed that would require pet stores to give buyers information about a pet's background and medical history before selling a dog or cat.
   
The House passed such a bill by Democratic Rep. Linda Lawson of Hammond earlier in the legislative session, but it was not considered in the Senate.
   
Lawson says she will try to get the language of her bill inserted into another bill in a House-Senate conference committee this coming week. She says the legislation is critical to protect consumers looking for a family pet.
