Change in plans - HB 279
by WSLC Corresponding Secretary 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Our president, Shauna Scott-Bellaccomo, has asked me to pass this information along to you. Subject: URGENT: CHANGE OF PLANS Hello all. Sorry to change plans on you this morning, but that's how things on "The Hill" go. Ken is still waiting for the substitute to be ready for this bill, where he cleaned up some of the language after our committee hearing. In order to keep everyone from waiting around all day, he has decided to "circle" he bill this morning (which means to put it on hold) and get all in order and then he will "uncircle" it TOMORROW MORNING, FRIDAY , so that we can all plan on it coming up tomorrow morning. I hope this doesn't mess you up too badly. I will see those of you who can come tomorrow, Friday the 26th, at 10:00 am in the gallery. Thanks for your patience! Becky Ivory President Becky(a)MostSacredTrust.org 385-999-1020 MostSacredTrust.org Our goal at A Most Sacred Trust is to restore trust in our school system by educating children, parents, teachers, administrators and legislators about the realities of sexual abuse in our schools and how we can protect both children, and the adults who educate them, by establishing a safer system for all.

HB279 on the floor tomorrow most likely / a favor
by WSLC Corresponding Secretary 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Good evening members, Today in our general meeting, one of the bills we heard discussed was HB279. We did not have a resolution presented on this bill. However, we have received this request from Representative Ivory, the bill's sponsor, asking for support from any interested members when it is read again, probably tomorrow. Remember, if you wish to support this bill, you will be doing so as an individual, not as a member of WSLC, since we haven't voted on a resolution in support. Our president has asked me to forward this for any of you who may wish to support the bill. The request from Becky Ivory is below. Thank you, Gay Lynn Bennion WSLC Corresponding Secretary Hi all. Now that I'm back a my computer, I want to give you a few more details on HB279. Right now, it is 7th on the House 3rd Reading Calendar, after several circled bills. It is likely that it will come up tomorrow, either during he morning session (10am - 12pm) or he afternoon session (from 2pm - 5pm). If you are familiar with the system, you know that it could be a long day, and there is no guarantee that it will actually come up at all, though Ken feels it is likely. Ken has asked Marci Hamilton to help us prepare a one page handout for each of the Representatives and we would like to as you to email as many representatives as you can, a copy of the video that was created for the Committee by several survivors. You can give them the link to the video at: https://youtu.be/wKv1eZDaKaI If you want to be in the gallery, you are welcome to come and support this bill and Ken will recognize the survivors and supporters in the gallery. However, we understand that you may not be able to come with such a vague time frame. But the more people we can gather, the more of an impact it will have on those voting. If you end up coming, please text me at (801)694-8382 and we will try to save enough seats for all of us to sit together. Thanks! Becky Ivory President Becky(a)MostSacredTrust.org 385-999-1020 MostSacredTrust.org Our goal at A Most Sacred Trust is to restore trust in our school system by educating children, parents, teachers, administrators and legislators about the realities of sexual abuse in our schools and how we can protect both children, and the adults who educate them, by establishing a safer system for all.
