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

Make a note of this information because it could be very valuable at election time, to evaluate whether candidates’ campaign rhetoric is supported or contradicted by their actions.
