A controversial “Puppy Mill bill” has passed the Indiana Senate.
House Bill 1412 would get rid of local ordinances that ban the sale of dogs at retail pet stores.
It Takes a Village Animal Rescue says the new bill would open the door for puppy mills to sell dogs to large retailers.
In a released statement, leaders with the rescue thanked those who voted against the bill.
The only state senator from this area to vote against the bill is Vaneta Becker who represents Warrick and parts of Vanderburgh county.
The bill now awaits a final signature from Governor Eric Holcomb.
