Tuesday, March 1

This morning began a bit different.  We debated. Rather, the reps did.  Remember Thursday, January 27th's post? Part of it was this:


After debate, I sat in on a Veterans' Affairs meeting.  They passed a bill which gives National Guardsmen & -women the ability to sign over their share of custody/visitation to someone of their choosing if they are deployed.  The bill will now go to the floor of the house.


This morning this bill and several others were briefly debated and passed on the floor.  It was interesting to follow this bill through to the floor.


I staffed the environmental protection meeting.  They discussed updating the Code to reflect the current policies and practices such as the federal government taking charge of certain regulations.  The rest of the day was slow until 5:30 when they gaveled in and debated SF209, which is a 21-page bill regarding the IRS code.  Unfortunately, I have other plans, so I won't be able to listen to the debate on that one.
