HB 1055 in Senate Rules – Deadline Looming

Contact your Senator NOW and ask for their help.

If you haven’t seen or read any of the lead-up information about HB-1055, you can view it at https://waapconena.org/hb1055/ These next few days are CRITICAL!  If we don’t get the bill pulled from the Senate Rules and passed by the Senate by Wednesday, April 12th at 5 pm the bill dies. We are so close, lets get this done! We have asked for your help before, which has gotten us to this critical juncture.  This bill passed unanimously out of the House of Representatives on March 6^th, passed Senate Ways and Means on March 13th and has strong support from both sides of the aisle as well as our other public safety partners.  But it is stalled, and we need your help now.

What to do:

1. Email your Representatives and ask for their help passing HB-1055.  Identify Your Senator.  Enter your address in Step 1 and click Find My District. 

2. You will see your Legislators listed, click on their name to find their contact information:

3. Click on the Email link and fill out the form.  You can include the Bill Number (example below)

4. Enter a Subject Line and your support request in the Message box.  Below is an email sent to the Senate Rules Committee and the talking points for PSTs if you need help with wording or language.  Include where you work and what you do so the Senator knows you are vested in the outcome. Be authentic and open.  End your email with your ask (see #5).
