Bill > HR7611

This bill, titled the "Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act," aims to prevent states and local governments from receiving federal funding if they enact laws that prohibit their residents from owning dogs. The bill explicitly states that it is the sense of Congress that Sharia law, which refers to Islamic religious law, is a foreign concept detrimental to the pursuit of happiness, and that owning a dog is a right for all Americans. Essentially, the legislation seeks to use federal funding as leverage to ensure that no state or local jurisdiction can ban dog ownership.
