New Law Will Make Cat De-clawing Illegal

I’m in the cats with claws/terrible looking furniture camp.
When we moved into our current house, my husband wanted to get nice living room furniture.
We have lived in the house 11 years, and my husband has probably logged less than an hour on that furniture.
The cats love it… and the armrests are in terrible shape.
But, we have never considered declawing the cats. We do have a large cat tree and other scratching areas, but the sofa and chair seem to be their favorite places to scratch.
We also don’t invest more than a minimal amount in drapes. We have 1 climber, but I haven’t actually seen her climb in years.
Our leather furniture is fine - they don’t try to claw it.
I am opposed to declawing, but mostly mind my own business when it comes to this issue.
