Coalition Members –

We have learned today that HB 473 has been referred to Senate Highways and Transportation, and Chair Vance told a member of the Coalition that the hearing will be scheduled for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m..

We need to put together another very strong hearing for the Senate, so please let me know as soon as possible if you are available and intend to participate. I will coordinate a lineup much as we did for the House side.

Please remember as you prepare your testimony, that we need to keep each one to about two minutes, three at a maximum.

Following is the list of committee members:

Sen. CYDNIE ( CARLIE ) BOLAND (D)
Sen. DEE L BROWN (R)
Sen. EDWARD BUTTREY (R)
Sen. STEVE FITZPATRICK (R)–Vice Chair
