wildlife. but it is also about protecting your rights, as well. this does not apply to mice and rats. it only applies to squirrels, raccoons, possums, animals that like to nest in homes and it doesn't apply to dc residents but only regulates companies. that sounds standard but one clause in the bill is causing the bulk of the controversy. it states a wildlife control officer should make every reasonable effort to preserve the animals family unit and not knowingly abandon dependent young inside of a structure. opponents say that is going too far but supporters say it makes sense. and here's why. >> if a mother raccoon or mother skunk or mother ground hog thinks an animal is still inside, they will keep trying to get inside no matter what. and that causes damage to a house, and so you may pay for something and not remove the young and then all of the damage is done again after you have paid for it. so it is important to solve the problem for the long term. >> reporter: the dc council

will vote on the first reading of the bill today. so far, it seems like the council will indeed pass it. jessica? >> kristin, how unusual is a measure like this one that is being considered? >> you know it is actually not all that uncommon. in fact, 30 states have already approved similar measures, including in virginia and in maryland. so it is actually not all that rare. although when you look at language like protecting family units of raccoons and possums it certainly may seem a little out of the ordinary. back to you. >> thank you so much. new this morning, fairfax county police investigate how a man was hurt at a metro station. the wounded man was found last night outside of the hurtington yellow line station. his injuries are not life- threatening. it is unclear exactly what happened and whether the man was stabbed, shot or something else happened. police may be at the station this morning looking for clues. answer autopsy shows the

more expensive but more humane. kristin fisher is live outside of the wilson building to explain. >> well, most of the bill is standard and straightforward but there is one section that is causing the big bulk of the controversy. and i want to read you exactly what that excerpt is. here it is, word for word. awildlife control a operator shall make every reasonable effort to preserve wildlife family units using humane eviction or displacement and reunion strategies. it then goes on to say that a wildlife control operator shall not knowingly abandon dependent young inside of a structure. opponent of the bill say it is ridiculous that why would you want to be concerned about preserving the family unit of say a raccoon or a squirrel but poeters say it actually makes sense. this provision isn't just intended to protect the wildlife but also intended to protect you, the homeowner, and

the theory is if you pay a company to remove a family of raccoons but the mother is separated from her babies the she -- she thinks the babies are inside the home and will do just about anything to get them back. they say it is about saving you money and solving the problem in the long run. the bill's sponsor says it is about protecting homeowners from wildlife control businesses that she calls inhumane. >> what we see with those businesses that are not responsible is they use traps that effectively torture animals, that nontargetted animals like pets sometimes get captured in them and when they kill animals thigh use horrific methods like beating them to death or drowning them. >> reporter: the bill does not apply to mice and rats but only to squirrels, raccoons, poses suchs. animals that like to nest inside of your home. the bill dunn apply to dc residents. it only regulates the company. that's an important

distinction. for those thinking the bill sounds ridiculous it is not that rare. 30 states have already passed similar measures including maryland and virginia. now the dc city council is expected to vote on a first reading of the bill today. so far it seems like it will pass. >> thank you, kristin. time for another "living $mart" report. mastercard and visa settling a lawsuit with the government. it claims the companies engaged in anticompetitive practices saying it stopped merchants from offering downs when it used other cards. american express hasn't settled and will fight the suit. toyota says it fixed 4 million recalled vehicles in the u.s. they were part of the safety recall. toyota recalled 1 a million vehicles world wide. when it comes to maryland -- millionaires, maryland is number two in the nation.
