You can enter in two ways, answer the weekly question or let us know what results you got when you contacted your legislators about the ivory bans.

This weeks question is; In what states is it now illegal to sell pre-act elephant and mammoth ivory in, and in what states have we beaten the bills to make pre-act elephant ivory and mammoth ivory illegal?
 
Well you know how my results went contacting legislators to date(still waiting to hear back from 3rd one i reached out to). And i had a relative in Oregon send out an email this week to their reps as well in regards to the Oregon bill as the Oregon knife show would just not be the same if it passes.

As to your question, as others stated:

New York. New jersey. and California it is now illegal.

Virgina. Washington. Maryland and Hawaii . failed.

I know legislation is being debated in the following states as well(last i checked) hopefully we can cross most or all of these into the failed list soon: Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Delaware and the District of Columbia.

You are right, for the most part, California has had a ban for a while, they have bills now that will make the bans tougher, we hope they fail. There is still one more state that a bill failed in, it did not get much publicity but we did talk about it here on BF.
 
Thanks this is great. it's awesome for you to do this I hope the ivory ban gets beat down
