Now the Senate

I saw this morning that SB 0083 was placed on the calendar to be heard tomorrow, March 24, on the Senate floor. This means that all the senators from across the state will hear the bill and vote on it. The Senate session is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m., but it may be a little while before they get to the bill.

I plan to watch the proceedings, and if you would like to as well, you can do so by going to this link and clicking on the video icon under "View Video": http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/schedule/

If you haven't already contacted your senator to ask for his/her support of SB 0083, you can still do so. Here is a link for their contact information: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/senate/members/

If the bill is not passed in the Senate, then it will be dead for this year. Here's hoping it passes!

UPDATE: It looks as though HB 0871 is set to be heard in the House Calendar and Rules Committee tomorrow as well. That means they will set a date for the bill to be heard on the House floor.

Hopefully I'll have some good updates tomorrow!
