Read the preface please:
Amendments: Whenever an existing statute (or a section of the Indiana Constitution) is being amended, the text of the existing provision will appear in this style type, additions will appear in this style type, and deletions will appear in this style type.
Additions: Whenever a new statutory provision is being enacted (or a new constitutional provision adopted), the text of the new provision will appear in this style type. Also, the word NEW will appear in that style type in the introductory clause of each SECTION that adds a new provision to the Indiana Code or the Indiana Constitution.
The section on sex offenders or parolees was existing provisions of the code.
The actual bill (or amendment to the state code) was those sections in bold type.
Only one sentence of the bill refers to "parolees may be prohibited from owning or training pets..." and included in that section of the code.
The rest of the bill is in an entirely different section of the state code.
You see how easy it is to make it propaganda and falsely suggest that the bill was somehow "sandwiched in" with a bill on sex offenders or parolees when that was not the case?
That statement is just as false and misleading as the statement suggesting that pet dealers would be regulated as kennels or commercial breeders.
