# Oversight Committee,  10/8/26

At the October 8, 2026, City of Norman Oversight Committee meeting, members discussed a proposed ordinance restricting commercial pet stores from selling or transferring cats and dogs sourced from commercial breeders. The presenter said the proposal would not prohibit breeders from selling directly to consumers or prevent pet stores from hosting shelter and rescue adoptions. Members expressed support and discussed moving the proposal to a full-council study session, with a request to consider expediting it before the next legislative session because of possible state preemption. No vote was taken and the ordinance was not approved at this meeting; staff was asked to research local kennel licenses and breeders.
