So... the conf committee report was distributed today, around noon.

What happens next?

They provide a nice comparison of the 3 versions on pages 7-9.

Thanks for the link. Looks like a benign report to me, but what do I know?

I sure hope they are on our side.

It's hard to imagine a better bunch for our side than those.

Just curious: who selects the conference committee members?

Wonderful- did it escape w/o amendments?

I made it to about half of the committee members offices in person yesterday.

Charles, thanks for the heads up. I've called all the committee members, and spread the word to get additional calls made.

Regarding two of the committee members who are *not* co-authors of HB681:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interestingly, Rep. Garza's staffer volunteered that Garza 'fully supports the bill without amendments' - I didn't think to ask why, then, he wasn't a co-author?

The staffer at Rep. Workman's office said that he's pretty sure that Workman supports the bill as well, but didn't want to make that an Official Statement.
