SB 96 This act modifies the rodeo exception to the newly
enacted animal baiting statutes found in Proposition A, approved
by the voters in November, 1998. The proposition exempted from
criminal penalty any rodeo practice currently sanctioned by the
Professional Rodeo Cowboy's Association. This act exempts
professional and amateur rodeo practices in general, thus vesting
prosecutorial discretion in officials at the county level. A
similar provision is contained in SCS/HB 79 (TAT).
