In addition to contacting the suggested contacts listed above, I also sent a letter to my Representative (Riddle) to ask for her help in urging the Calendars Committee to place both bills on the Major Calendar. I don't know if she's in a position to influence things, but it can't hurt.

List of members of Public Safety Committee posted on Page 3 of this thread with note of those who authored/coauthored the House companion bill HB1893.

I happen to have just looked at the Saturday calendar and she was correct in its placement for Saturday.

There are seven items on the MAJOR Calender.

There are twenty-eight items on the GENERAL Calendar, but SB730 is the FIRST item on it. It may really have a chance for discussion on Saturday. It would 'seem' unlikely that the entire general calendar would be bumped due to unfinished business from Friday...I hope.

I confess that I have no special knowledge of House proceedure but it appears that there is a reasonable chance for discussion of SB730...I hope.
