SB492 is a bill I strongly support. It passed Senate committee in March but was never put on the calendar. So they never got to it. Sorry I didn’t see this before. SB492 is a bill I strongly support.

It was brought up and passed so fast, I'm wondering if certain opponents stepped out to use the restroom. Twitter collapsed seconds after HB373 was called up. That can't be a coincidence, could it? ;) I’m pretty sure I heard the chair say HB373 has passed the Senate.

I was half listening at work so I am not sure. I saw HB373 come up on the bottom of the Senate Audio page along with saying they tabled it. Don't know for sure what it means or if I even saw it & twitter is down ARG!! Did I not just hear our bill HB373 come up & then get tabled? I was half listening at work so I am not sure.

According to Alison, it passed the House 7 days ago and thus will either be vetoed or signed by the Governor, or allowed to become law without any action. Here is what the House daily report from 5-7-09 said about SB 263: Third Reading Passed Motion to Read a Third Time and Pass adopted Roll Call Signature Requested How can that be giving them too much credit? That bill made it. No hicups, no brewfests, no fundraisers, no grassroots effort or organization, no website, no filibusters, and it passed on the perfect day. Something was done RIGHT and if you cannot learn from it you are missing an opportunity. Do you want to keep the current plan or adapt? After the session, I am going to talk to Sen. French. Really?
