The political resources were spent on OC & CC this legislature. Nothing was left for HB308. With those 2 bills out of the way, I feel like a similar bill to HB308 should be TOP PRIORITY for the next legislative session. Here's hoping & praying

I noticed that too. Noticed also that it's a "Formal Meeting". I don't know if that has anything to do with it though. A closed meeting perhaps? I dunno.

Anybody have some ideas on it?

Gosh I hope not! We are skating on very thin ice as it is to get OC & Campus Cary passed through the Senate. IMO, any additional amendments to the one's already passed, will cause such a delay that we will simply run out of time for a final floor vote. Or it could get bottled up in the EXTREMELY important House Calendar Committee, and effectively killed. It's happened before.

Let's be thankful for what's been passed so far, as is, with no amendments.

I feel as though HB308 will have a difficult time as it is to get through the entire process.

Great news indeed. I just hope & pray the committee will get to the bill next week. It's on the calendar, but so are 27 other bills.

There's a slug of bills that will be of interest to a lot of folks here on the forum on their agenda. Here's what they'll be considering starting next Tuesday:
