Floor Votes This Tuesday & Thursday

On Tuesday, 3/8 (tomorrow) and Thursday, 3/10, the whole House and Senate, respectively, will be convening to vote on all the bills that have survived thus far. Bills that survive these floor votes will be sent over to the other legislative body ("crossover") and then discussed and heard through committees again--this is when you'll get to testify again.

You are welcome to attend these floor meetings to observe, but there will be no testimony accepted. Each legislative body will be going through and voting on a long list of bills, and there may be speeches given by legislators to support or oppose a bill. Unfortunately, the schedule of which bill will be heard when won't be posted until tomorrow morning at the Capitol. But if you'd like to attend tomorrow, the Senate meeting will start at 10am, and the House meeting will start at 8:30am. Each body will be meeting in its respective chamber--

P.S. For your convenience, I've added a new section on the sidebar outlining WHAT YOU CAN DO to register your views with your legislators.
