POAB Legislative Update: SB 285 Advances in the House
SB 285 continues to move forward in the House, following passage out of the Ways and Means Committee.
An amended version of the bill has passed out of the House Ways and Means Committee and continues to move forward in the House. We are grateful for the strong grassroots support shown throughout this process.
Message from Executive Director Homer Bryson
Thanks to Speaker Jon Burns, SB 285 is still being considered in the House. An amended version of the bill has passed out of the House Ways and Means Committee under the guidance of Chairman Shaw Blackmon, with the unwavering support of POAB from Senator Randy Robertson.
We do not need to continue contacting legislators.
I now ask that you let the process work, and I promise to provide updates and more detailed information as the bill continues its journey through the legislator.
Thank you all for your grassroot efforts—your support truly made a difference.
