Intent Calendar: Senate Bill 3 Eligible for Vote on March 19
Senate Bill 3 was approved by the State Affairs Committee last week. The bill is now on the Senate's Intent Calendar with eligibility for a vote TOMORROW! If approved, SB 3 will be sent to the House for further consideration. (Click here for a refresher on the legislative process.)
TAKE ACTION: Call your senator's office! Click here to look up your state senator's phone number. Here's an example of what you might say when you call:
"Hello, my name is _______. I'm a constituent calling about an important bill that will be up for a vote soon. I'm calling to express my strong opposition to SB 3, the bill that would ban hemp THC products. I support regulations to protect young people, but I'm very concerned about the negative impact of prohibition. Our state will be safer if we choose to regulate these products, rather than criminalizing possession of these federally legal products."
REMINDER: Be sure to remain respectful and thank your senator for their service to your district.
