Advocate Update for HB 2389

 

Thank you all so much for your strong advocacy against Senate Substitute for  HB 2389!

 

As a result of many calls for the House to have its voice heard on  this very important issue, here’s what happened Saturday:

 

A motion by Representative  Rubin to adopt the Conference Committee report to “agree to disagree” on HB  2389 did NOT prevail, meaning HB 2389 will remain in Conference. The 63 “NO”  votes from the House on this motion shows strong support for allowing the House  to fully review, debate, and consider for itself, the important issues involved  in “reforming” the appeals process.

 

Representative Becker, Representative Jennings and Representative Carmichael all  spoke regarding this bill to urge that the motion be defeated.  Please let  them know you appreciate their leadership.

 

Though this motion vote is encouraging and a step in the right direction, we  must remain diligent! Please contact your local representative and urge him or  her to oppose HB 2389! you can find  your representative here.

 

Thank you for you continued support and action!
