Bills for Consideration
Budget Calendar

Rep. Sandra Prater has worked hard on HB1131 (establishes a commission on Traumatic Brain Injury), and that proposal will be on the floor for a vote of the House. Also on the floor will be a proposed revision to the everchanging Grandparents' Rights statute (adds step-grandparents to the visitation class).

I'll be running the proposal to codify the Rule Against Perpetuities (click here for the bill) in Judiciary Committee at 10:00a.m. Professor Lynn Foster (UALR School of Law) and attorney Phil Carroll (Rose Firm) will be testifying for the bill.

Update: My RAP bill received a "Do Pass" from the Judiciary Committee after some questioning from Rep. Aaron Burkes (R-Lowell). I have been approached by Rep. Dan Greenberg (R-Little Rock) about amending the bill to lengthen the "restricting" period. I'm unlikely to agree to that, and the bill will be presented to the full House for a vote on Friday morning.
