HB1317 Passed with a unanimous vote yesterday in the Senate Ag Committee - now it goes to the full floor for second reading and debate. That looks to occur next week.
So, please continue to contact your state senators to ask for support for HB1317.
Here's what happened at the Senate Ag Committee hearing yesterday:
More than 80 people were in attendance and there
was NO TESTIMONY AGAINST 1317. A big thanks to those FFA youths and
their leaders that made the long trek to Denver. Branson, Fowler, Hoehne, Kim, and Rocky Ford were well represented by almost 30 young people in FFA Blue!
These young people again represented their schools and the region and everyone should be very proud of our progeny!
The bill now will go to the Senate floor for '2nd reading' and associated debate. Likely next week.
Again,
thank you to all that supported the effort thus far with attendance,
phone calles, e-mails, faxes and so on. Please know that kind of
showing makes a tremendous difference in outcomes of legislation such
as 1317.
Please do go ahead and make a call to your senator and
let him/her know of your request for them to support passage of 1317 in
the Senate.
