Pennsylvania’s Beagle Bill Becomes Law, Creating Adoption Protections for Research Dogs and Cats ift.tt/CO7a9fk
Humane PA retweeted
DOGS USED IN RESEARCH IN PENNSYLVANIA NOW GET A SHOT AT A REAL HOME.
Pennsylvania’s Beagle Bill, SB 381, is now law. Governor Shapiro signed it October 22 as Act 92.
It was sponsored by Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican, and Sen. Carolyn Comitta, a Democrat. It passed the House 203 to 0 and the Senate 50 to 0. Not one no vote.
Dogs and cats used in research get a path to adoption, and newly animal tested cosmetics can’t be sold in PA. It takes effect April 20, 2027.
That’s what it looks like when both sides show up for animals.
Pennsylvanians, there’s more to do. Aimee’s Law, SB 1311, has been sitting in House Judiciary since October 7. The House returns November 9 and the session ends November 30. Call your state rep and ask them to move it.
Which animal bill should your state pass next?

PA Gov. Josh Shapiro signed the Beagle Bill, which @humaneworldorg calls “common-sense, bipartisan legislation.”
From April 20, 2027, the law bans sales of newly animal-tested cosmetics and helps dogs and cats find homes after research.

The way we treat those who cannot speak for themselves says a lot about who we are as a community. Compassion shouldn't stop with people. It should extend to every living creature.

A special thank-you to Dennis Owens for highlighting the Beagle Bill and the incredible journey to make it Act 92 of 2026!
After five years of perseverance and bipartisan teamwork, Pennsylvania has taken an important step forward in protecting innocent animals.

🚨NEW AD: From voting to let data centers hide their energy and water use to voting to protect animal abusers, @SenatorJColeman is just too extreme for Bucks and Lehigh counties.
It’s time to send someone focused on lowering costs — not weird and vindictive policies — to Harrisburg.
Humane PA retweeted
Thank you for signing the Beagle Bill into law - a victory for animals and a powerful example of how politics should work. Leaders from both parties found common ground in compassion and turned it into action. To everyone who spoke up and every lawmaker who worked together to get this done: thank you for showing what’s possible when kindness crosses party lines.”

Obliga a dar en adopción a los animales de compañía usados en experimentos ⬇️
🐶 El proyecto de Ley Beagle fue firmado por el gobernador, Josh Shapiro, y ahora Pensilvania se convirtió en el 13vo estado en prohibir la venta de cosméticos probados en animales.
🇺🇸 Tanto republicanos como demócratas votaron de forma unánime a favor de la ley, que también obliga a los laboratorios a dar en adopción a perros y gatos que fueron usados en experimentos.
🏠 “Esta es una victoria enorme para nuestros queridos beagles, ya que brinda a los perros utilizados en la investigación la oportunidad de encontrar hogares amorosos y definitivos”, dijo el senador Doug Mastriano, impulsor del proyecto.
🚫 La medida también prohíbe el gasto de fondos públicos en experimentos con perros o gatos que no le proporcionen a los animales ningún alivio para el dolor.
🗨️ A vos, ¿qué te parece la medida?

Gad PA's Beagle Bill became law. Animals do deserve protection from cruelty and unnecessary suffering.
But it saddens me that we can come together to protect animals, yet can't find that same common ground when it comes to protecting innocent human life in the womb.
Why is it that we can agree on protecting one innocent life, but not another?
WOW! WHAT A WEEK!
FROM A VISION TO A VICTORY — THE BEAGLE BILL IS OFFICIALLY LAW!
What began five years ago as a mission to protect innocent animals has now become a lasting part of Pennsylvania law!
Senate Bill 381 is officially Act 92 of 2026!
This new law strengthens protections for dogs and cats used in research and helps give these animals a second chance at life in loving homes.
I can't say this enough - I am truly grateful to Senator Carolyn Comitta for her bipartisan partnership throughout this journey, and to the outstanding advocates who helped bring this legislation across the finish line: Kristen Tullo, Anita Archambeau, Heidi Prescott, and the Adams County SPCA in Gettysburg. And, of course, our four-legged ambassador, Phoebe the Beagle!
To the many others whose dedication and compassion made this possible, your efforts will make a difference for years to come.
Unanimous support. Lasting protections. A brighter future for these animals.
Act 92 of 2026 - a legacy of compassion!
