Three election-related bills for your review
by Larry Geller
Bob Babson emailed information on these three election-related bills introduced by Sen. Gary Hooser.
Check them out by clicking on the bill number. It’s very easy to submit testimony this session by email or from the Capitol web pages, so please consider following them and helping them through the process if you feel you can support them (or if you oppose them, of course).
Right now, each bill needs to be heard, so what’s needed is to email the committee chair (see below) to get them scheduled for a hearing. Again, your emails make a difference.
