A new bill introduced by a Fresno-area state lawmaker aims to expand access to spay and neuter services to combat a stray pet overpopulation crisis that has overwhelmed local vet shelters. 

The proposal by Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria (D-Merced), AB 2010, would increase the availability of high-quality, high-volume sterilization procedures statewide. It would also authorize the use of Mobile Animal Sterilization Hospital (MASH) clinics, allowing traveling surgical units to operate in underserved areas where such services can be out of reach.
