A message from Business Agent Ed Duffy regarding AB1839:

AB1839 passed through the Senate Appropriations committee today chaired by Senator de Leon.

Over the next few days final amendments to the bill will be added and subtracted (and dollar figure) along with conversations with the Governor and should be sent to the Senate floor to be voted on in the next 10 days and back to the Assembly for vote with the amendment’s and then to the Governor by August 31st at which time he has 30 days to sign or veto the bill.

This is a crucial time.

If you have not sent a letter or email to the Governor regarding the support of ab1839 please don’t hesitate any longer.
