Hello everyone, Latest word on AB 409 is that it will probably, that's probably, be heard on August 11th. Please continue your efforts to get interested parties to write to the members of the Senate Natural Resources Committee and oppose this terrible bill. On the California front, some of you will be confused by the CDFA newsletter and FA newsletter because they say exactly opposite things. CDFA said that AB 363 will definitely come up in August and FA says it's dead. Well, neither is accurate. AB 363 does not have a hearing date set and may not come up at all, but it cannot and will not die until session is over (end of August) and the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee might experience some kind of Epiphany and do the right thing for Californians, you never know. But until then, the bill isn't dead and there's no guarantee that its going to have its hearing either. Of course, we prefer that the latter scenario is the one that prevails.
