RESPONSES TO QUERY:


Robert:

Thank you for your e-mail.  SB 6923 missed the cut-off date to pass out
of the Transportation Committee and also missed the deadline for bills
to pass out of their House of Origin.  Therefore, it is very unlikely
that this bill will be successful this Session.

Sincerely,

Richard DeBolt

..................As for Senate Bill 6923, this bill is also currently dead
for this session.  The bill was referred into the Senate Transportation
Committee, but also never received a public hearing.

Again, thank you for your email, if you have any other questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Best Wishes,

Senator Dan Swecker

This bill has the same fate as SB 6900.  It's going nowhere.
