HB 218 and HB 1805 need your support
HB 218 is Rep. Moody’s Penalty reduction bill and HB 1805 is Rep. Klick’s medical expansion bill.
Both have been sent to the Senate and assigned committees, but both have not been scheduled for hearing in the respective committees. The end of this week could be the death knell for both bills if they are not heard in those committees by then. There has to be enough time for the bills to be heard, get review, go to the Senate floor, make it back to the House if any amendments are made to the bills and schedule a conference committee.
Here’s how you can help!
