You need to not only write, but CALL (on the phone) your senator ... let them know how important this is to you!

Email is great and easy ... but easy for them to ignore too ... a snail mail letter will get more attention then an email ... maybe if you got children ... have them write letters too ...

I called! Left voicemail for my senator, spoke to a staffer at the representative's office.

So today I called the office of my state senator, was redirected to her capital phone number, and spent some time chatting with a staffer. He said that the session had ended - and the next one doesn't start until 2021! Oy. He said possibly if it was running out of time they might have tacked it onto another bill as an amendment, that can happen to get things through, otherwise it would have gone away with the end of the session and would need to get set up again next time. He said the senator for district 2, Bob Hall, is the one who had originated it. I wrote an email to him, asking if it had gone through as an amendment, and if not, urging him to reintroduce it at the beginning of the next session - apparently you can start putting them in during Nov. 2020. And I thanked him for writing it.
