Greetings Everyone,
Senator Pearce asked me to give a quick update on some bills.
HB2632 immigration; law enforcement; safe neighborhoods will be 3rd read on Tuesday, March 23rd at around 1:30 PM. I know there has been some confusion on the bills status but House Speaker Kirk Adams has promised Senator Pearce that it will be heard and voted on. If HB2632 is passed it will be joined with SB1070. SB1070 immigration; law enforcement; safe neighborhoods has the same exact language as HB2632. SB1070 and was passed by the Senate on February 25th. If HB2632 passes the House and since both of these bills are exactly the same, they can be joined and sent directly to the Governor for her signature.
Senator Pearce also wanted me to pass along his appreciation to House Speaker Adams for his efforts in getting the bill moved through the house. If you get a chance, please send a nice letter to Speaker Adams thanking him for getting this bill heard. Is e-mail address is kadams@azleg.gov
Also send an e-mail or call the House members and ask them to vote yes on HB2632 immigration; law enforcement; safe neighborhoods.
On another note: Obama Healthcare.
Many of you have been asking the Senator about the Obama Healthcare Bill and is there anything we can do about it. YES! State Representative Judy Burges has a bill called HB2001 taxpayer voluntary contribution; fund. This bill was passed out of the house and sent to the senate. Representative Burges is going to do a “strike everything” to that bill, HB2001 and add the text from the IDAHO HEALTH FREEDOM ACT that was passed and signed by their Governor.
HB2001 has passed first read in the Senate and is going to the Finance committee, chaired by Senator Jack Harper, who has stated that he will allow the bill to be heard in committee this coming Wednesday the 23rd. Please call or e-mail the Finance committee asking them to support HB2001. The Finance Committee meets at 1:30PM.
For that Great American, Senator Russell Pearce,
