YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

Now is the time for us to work on contacting our elected officials in the House of Representatives and ask them to help push the hands free bill H 3394 into committee and if they are willing add their name as a co-sponsor. Some may not want to add their name as bills can be amended and with their name on it they now support a different version. While we understand their viewpoint that doesn’t mean they can’t help move it into committee.

If you need help figuring this out, or better yet, would be willing for us to attend a chapter meeting to go over our legislative priorities please contact me at the number below. Bills on the move:
