LEGISLATIVE REPORT
Page Gonzales provided the following legislative report:
“135th day of session
At this point in the session, 16% of the bills introduced in for the 2008 session have become law.
Many out-of-county members are becoming restless with their drive to the capitol every week to see NO visible progress on the budget, while other members occupy their time by resurrecting bills that had previously failed.
I will cover a few bills and their status with you tonight.
A proposal to allow a conceal carry permit holder to possess a firearm on the grounds of a community college or university--- is no longer moving through the process.
The Community College State Board bill, which as written, would have had affects on district budgets and operations as well as the accreditation of our institutions ---is no longer progressing.
The textbook information bill was signed by the Governor. This bill required publishers to provide certain written information when course materials are considered including price and also required that higher education institutions request specific information from publishers when course materials are being chosen.
The bill containing the large educational reform that allows JTEDs to serve adult students during the daytime hours was defeated three times now. The language still remains in one bill that may go to a conference committee to remove adult student provisions.
Finally, on the budget front ---negotiations continue as legislative leaders attempt to come up with a plan for the ‘09 budget. Reduction proposals remain fluid through these discussions. The sticking point again for this budget is the bonding for K-12 construction. Many options are hovering over the caucuses including one to send a budget to the Governor that she will surely veto in order to start the real process and bring the discussions from the strong opposing sides to the center.”
