Legislative Update

Week 10


There isn’t any new legislation, but we must continue to remind legislators how we feel about these pieces of legislation listed below. After the initial outrage over legislation, we sometimes become complacent and let things slide. Everything listed below is on the House or Senate calendar, they can/will be brought to the full House or Senate for debate and vote. Now is not the time to let up.



Our Call to Action is receiving lots of visitors, but not enough responders. We try to make it as easy as possible, one click on each piece of legislation. Talking points are already added or you can add your own comments as well.
