HB-36 Passes Committee Unanimously

The House Game, Fish, and Parks committee heard from Ben Watson again today on an unmodified HB-36 and the bill received a unanimous favorable vote. There was even some joking in the room about the volume of emails and phone calls received.

This is huge step! No doubt all the emails, phone calls, and faxes got HB-36 back on track and it's nice in this day and age to see someone like Rep Ben Watson stand up and do the right thing, despite some opposition from his own constituents.

So what does all this mean? HB-36 will now go for a floor vote and over to the Senate. While everything is expected to be smooth sailing from here please keep checking back for updates.
