Sorry about some of the technical difficulties.  Had some things to work out.

I will only be posting in YouTube next year.  Here is the link.  If at some point I get more subscribers, then I may return to the podcast format as well.

Two bills fail to make it out of committee.  There was little support for them after public testimony but the Senate passed them anyway.  The House Education Committee actually listened to the public and they are "dead".

A couple contentious public testimony sessions.  The push for inclusion of specific groups while excluding others continues.  Inclusion should mean all, but does not with some of these bills.

See what bills made it through one of the chambers.  Some of these bills have already moved through committee.

March 8th is the deadline to pass bills out of chamber.  Some bills are already speeding through the other chamber.  Ready to teach about Bone Marrow Donation?  Sounds like its coming.

Fiscal policy cutoff has been reached.  Which bills will make it through the chamber of record and which will have to be reincarnated next year?

Some bills are now "dead" and others were passed out of committee so they can continue to work on them.

Last week for bills to pass out of the original chamber.  Executive session was pretty busy this week.  More to come this week.  Some of these bills are carving into the school day to make room for other activities.

A lot of new bills introduced this week, some are on the fast track.
