HB 4540 is scheduled to have a hearing NEXT THURSDAY in the Oversight and Ethics Committee in the House. This hearing has NOT yet been posted, but that is not unusual -- they are only required to give about 18 hours notice, and usually it is just a couple of days in advance that notice is given.
EVEN if you cannot ATTEND the hearing, PLEASE plan to submit testimony in writing (send it to the Committee Clerk Joy Brewer noting that it is for the Oversight and Ethics Committee hearing on HB 4540), and encourage your members and colleagues to directly contact the members of the Oversight and Ethics Committee (listed below) to urge them to vote down HB 4540.
More information and insights will be coming.
