Status of “Vaccine Work Group” Bills
We’ve killed three bills, arguably the three worst. Another bill has passed the Senate and will move on to the Assembly next month.
The remaining four bills are on either the Assembly or Senate Floor and will soon be voted on by the whole house. To advance to the other house, each bill must pass by next Friday, May 27. Passage in the Senate requires 21 votes and in the Assembly 41 votes.
