I just spoke with a member of the House Judiciary Committee and I was informed that HB214 the bill that would allow those who have drug convictions to eligible for food stamps and TANF passed overwhelmingly out of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. This is EXCELLENT news and a huge step in the right direction. Many, many thanks to all of you who wrote, called or visited the committee and urged them to pass this bill. GOOD JOB FOLKS!!
Also, Rep. Mac Gipson's bill HB194'>http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/searchableinstruments/2010rs/bills/hb194.htm">HB194 which would allow the county sheriff in any Alabama county to stand down the feds at the county line also passed out of Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. Again, thanks to those of you who wrote, called or visited on behalf of this bill.
I have to say that the House Judiciary Committee is off to a great start this session. Here's hoping they keep it up throughout the session.
