Legislative Update

We've added a link to the left side of our page - "2007 Legislative Session-Bills of Interest." This list will be regularly updated. This is not an exhaustive list of pending bills before the Legislature, but one with bills of interest to educators, especially alternative education people.

Included in the listing of House Bills and Senate Bills are the principal authors, their political affiliation, their home city/town, a brief description of what the bill would do, and finally (in parentheses) a notation of the status of the bill. It is this last designation that will be updated as the bill moves through the committee in its house of origin, to the floor in house of origin (General Order), to the opposite house committee, and so on.

Once deadlines for consideration of bills have passed, bills on this list that have died will be removed.

Let us know if you have questions concerning any of the proposed legislation. We also encourage you to contact your local state representative and senator with your suggestions and questions.
