Do you know someone in Amarillo (Sherman, Moore, Potter, Carson, Hutchinson counties)? If so, please read and pass along to them.
This bill will open up many opportunities for my business including shipping, refrigerated items and selling wholesale!
Thank you!
Legislative update: Somewhere, in the thousands of bills that have been filed this session, waits HB 1926. It is a strange legislative session, and the House appears to have adopted a strategy of moving at a snail's pace, for reasons that have been well speculated on in the media. We are already to April, and only a few bills are trickling through the sausage grinder. Realistically, a bill needs to have a public hearing in April to have any chance of passing by the deadlines laid out in the Texas Constitution.
The decision for whether, and when, this bill receives a hearing, is solely at the discretion of the Chair of the Public Health Committee, "Four" Price.
Amarillo area residents (Sherman, Moore, Potter, Carson, Hutchinson counties), and people with friends and family in that area, we need you to tell the Chair, "Four" Price, that this bill is important to you. ONLY PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN HIS DISTRICT SHOULD CALL.
(512) 463-0470 - "Hi, my name is _____ and I am a constituent. I am calling because I support HB 1926 and it's important to me that it pass. I request that Chairman Price set this bill for a hearing next week."
The committee schedule is posted on Friday evening, so they are deciding TODAY what will be heard next week. If it isn't set on the schedule that is published tonight, then we will have to wait another precious week as the sands in the hourglass trickle away.
