It will leave with “no recommendation” but the first motion on the House floor will be Ought to Pass.

The entire working/executive session is available on YouTube.

As before, the amount of those speaking against was fewer than those speaking in support, and towards the end I ask the room to raise their hand if they supported the bill. The response was a sea of raised hands.

I had many, many questions for the SVAC representation, and had to call it quits before I managed to lose support from my own committee for going on too long.

This is exciting news for Defend the Guard, and I will be speaking in support from the well when it hits the floor. I want to thank all of you for your support, phone calls, emails, and coming out to testify, you moved the needle for sure.
