HB2055 Both Reps. Chaplik and Kolodin will vote on HB2055 on Tuesday January 28 in the Regulatory Oversight Committee. HB2055 is an over-reaching bill to allow anyone to claim an exemption from immunization. Read the bill summary here. You may email and use RTS.
HB2022 Rep Kolodin voted yes on HB2022 in the Judiciary Committee to allow teachers to carry firearms in classrooms. The bill is being passed quickly and is on the Rules Committee agenda for Jan 27th. You may still use Request To speak but since the objective of the Rules Committee is to determine if the bill is in proper form, comments don’t hold much weight. To date 228 people have used RTS to weigh in FOR the bill and 302 have weighed in AGAINST. (votes for the bill are coming from MAGA organizations and Civil Defense league) Read the summary of the bill here. The bill is absurdly referred to as the Save Our Children School Safety Program.
You may send an email to both Reps. They will both vote when the bill comes to the Floor.
Rep. Kolodin is going for a two-fer. HB2673 is a bill eligible, if passed, to be vetoed by the Governor. HCR2013 is a resolution which bypasses the Governor and goes to the people as a ballot question. They are identical. They both would make early ballot drop-off stop after 7:00 the Friday before and election, voters would be required to reconfirm their address every two years, and mail-in voters would be assigned an early voter I.D. that they must print on their ballot envelope. Both are scheduled for The House Federalism, Military affairs and Elections committee on Wednesday. Send an email to Kolodin and RTS.
SB1011 John Kavanagh voted FOR one of the first elections bills we’ll see this session. SB1011 was heard in the Senate Judiciary and Elections Committee and passed on a party line vote. It does away with emergency voting the weekend before an election and requires mail in ballots to be dropped at a polling place by 7:00 on the Friday before an election. The summary wording from the Senate Committee is found here.
You may send an email to Kavanagh.
Emails sent should always be brief and state your displeasure or agreement with our lawmakers’ stand on a vote or issue. If speaking to a particular bill put NO or YES and bill # in the subject line. Mention you are their constituent or put LD3 constituent beside your name. If enough people begin to do this, maybe, they will stop announcing that their constituents agree with them.

Something good to support on RTS!!! HB2213 would fund free school lunches for students whose families meet the federal income requirements for free or reduced lunch. Our LD3 Reps are not on the Education Committee (thank goodness) but we get to RTS FOR a bill so seldom, please do so!
