Bad bills dealing with student privacy and voter information pamphlets still in play.

Activity Report on bills SB1455, HB2088, SB1423, HB2201, HB2691, SB1141, HB2481, HB2481, HB2043, HB2221, HB2570, HCR2009

TWO BILLS THAT NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION:
SB1010  recycled materials report; state agencies This is a strike-all bill and now has nothing to do with recycled materials. As amended, it allows the sharing of some student personally identifiable information to be shared with third parties without parental consent. It was HELD in the House Government and Higher Education Committee, but it will probably surface again soon. Please contact all representatives and request a NO vote on SB1010. To read the offending amendment, click HERE
SB1351  schools; elections; ballot arguments; exclusion, As submitted, this was a great bill dealing with information placed on the information pamphlets distributed to voters regarding bond issue elections. It would have allowed governing board members to omit their name from the PRO argument if they were not in favor of the bond issue. As amended, this bill does the opposite. It effectively hides from voters any hint that there was any opposition by any board member to the request for additional bonds. Please contact all representatives and request a NO vote on SB1351. If you rendered a “for” vote on the RTS, please update it to “against”. To read offending amendment, click HERE

Alert on HB2088, HB2293, SB1455

The following table contains some very important information regarding HB2088, HB2293, SB1455, three parental rights and privacy of information bills that will be heard in committee very soon, but first a quick observation:
In communist countries there is no such thing as parental rights or privacy of information. This statement is not the result of hearsay or reading a book, but the result of personal experience. Some European so-called democracies are following this pattern. There are people in this country that would have us move in that direction. You still have the right and the ability to let your government know your opinion. Do not squander that right. Everyone reading this material should be contacting the members of the committees cited here in the manner that best suits them, namely via telephone, e-mail, or ALIS/RTS. Don’t count on the next guy doing it. He is counting on you to do it.
THESE ARE ALL STRIKER BILLS

HB2023 Passed In House, HB2056, HB2088 – Alert

By Jose Borrajero

BALLOT HARVESTING BILL CLEARS COMMITTEE

HB2023 has passed in the House Elections Committee. A tally of the opinions rendered via the Request to Speak program (ALIS/RTS) revealed that 40% of the comments were in favor and 60% were against. That means that a lot more people on the other side made sure that they responded. If we want to advance The People’s agenda, we cannot allow this situation to continue. We need people to weigh-in.

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS are being ignored by the House Education Committee.

HB2056 statewide assessments; parental opt-out

(Parental Control and Student Privacy)

HB2088 schools; assessments; surveys; informed consent

(Parental Control and Student Privacy)

These bills were held back on 1/20 and have NOT been scheduled for the hearing on 1/27. If this subject is important to you, you may wish to contact the committee chairman and request that these bills be scheduled for a hearing. Don’t forget, the other side is right now requesting just the opposite.
