Previous Meetings

Update, March 20, 2025:
Our amendment to SB950 has come in and a work session has been planned for Tuesday, April 1st, 3-4:30pm. The amendment fixes the "reciprocity" issue, and it adds that any license valid at the passing of SB950 will be good until January 2029. :) Hopefully at the work session, the bill will be voted to the Senate floor.

Update, March 13th, 2025:
A public hearing for SB 950 was held on March 13th. The link to submit your written testimony is closed, but if the bill passes through the Senate, you'll have another opportunity at the public hearing on the House side.
