Zoe Lofgren: “I wanted to quote from a letter I received from Senator Feinstein. This amendment is identical to what Senator Feinstein…”

On the recordJune 12, 2003
I wanted to quote from a letter I received from Senator Feinstein. This amendment is identical to what Senator Feinstein wrought in the Senate, and she has pointed out that she will not support this bill unless this amendment is adopted and that is to protect section 17200 of California's Business and Professions Code in its entirety. There is no rationale, no reason, there have been no problems with section 17200; and I would urge all members of the House, and especially the Californians, to stand up for federalism and protect California State law.
