During the day Thursday, My sister Adrienne and I were up at the capital all day. Meetings after meetings, talking to anyone that we can get to listen about our Bill. Answering questions, addressing the Representative's concerns, lobbying for support.
I feel good about the chances for passage of HB 1795. Keep up the pressure on the members of the committee, it will make a difference.
It was a long day. Then at the end of the day, good news!, Senator Carlos Uresti not only decided to support us, He filed Greyson's bill in the Senate also. This is great news. It doubles our chances of success. This is a fantastic, unexpected development. I had given up on gaining the Senator's support. I had been calling his office for days and not getting a response about his position. And then, BAM!! We find out that he not only supports our position, but wants to pass it in the Senate too.
Fantastic!! Thank you Senator Uresti.
Greyson's Law is now Senate Bill #1720 too.
