The bill does have a provision for buying permits to not fix show and breeder cats/dogs that live within the state, and ones traveling to the state for a show do not require a permit to remain unfixed. I have no problem with charging breeders/showers a fee.
The problem with charging a fee for service animal breeders is that it puts an extra financial burden on a system that should not have that burden. It's already costly enough to train police dogs I'm sure, and the cost will be passed on to the CA taxpayer as I'm sure they won't get nice internal waivers even if police dog breeders were state-run, which they probably aren't. In addition, guide dog groups that breed their own dogs are usually private organiations (I think...), so this would place more of a financial strain on them and I'm under the impression they're already pushed for money. Services for people with disabilities should NOT cost the disabled person any money.
