Our efforts are paying off!
The synopsis is, co-sponsors:
32 - Assembly
17 - Senate
This is very, very strong showing" -Nadine Gratz, Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson's Health Policy Analyst.
It will likely be assigned to the Senate Public Health Committee by the President of the Senate, Fred Risser. This committee is chaired by Senator Tim Carpenter.
How soon the chair of the committee holds a public hearing is dependent upon the committee's public schedule. If the bill passes the committee, it will go onto the Senate floor for a vote, which is also schedule dependent and may or may not take place prior to the summer recess.
Once the bill is voted on and passes the Senate, the process begins all over in the Assembly.
When the bill is in committee, it is most likely to get a public hearing. At that time, members of the public may register their support or opposition, and may also register to speak at that hearing.
Although the bill has a strong co-sponsorship, staying in contact with your elected representatives will let them know that this is a priority for you, their constituents.
