Lobbyist and Hearing Committee

Hello all,

We have a lobbyist! I bumped into Sen. Hayden yesterday and he told me that he was approached by a lobbyist (from a ‘big firm’) who wants to lobby on behalf of the Bill, pro bono. Great news…and look forward to meeting.

Beyond that, not too much to report…the Bill is not yet scheduled for a hearing. I was hoping to hear the date and time this afternoon, but hopefully will know tomorrow.

So, I thought I would give you info on the members of the first committee that will hear the Bill. Save their contact info cause these will be the folks that we call, email and meet with in preparation of the Hearing.
