Sen. Nikki Nice, D-Oklahoma City, held an interim study examining a state law that can force local pounds to surrender dogs and cats for animal testing. Oklahoma is the last state in the nation to still have such a law on the books.

Nice said the study, held Wednesday at the state Capitol, pointed to the need to repeal the statute.
