HB1024 update

Message from State Representative Rick Green to keeparkansaslegal:

It was a pleasure to meet you also. I am pleased that you are able to embrace HB 1024 and I hope that our State taking this step of leadership in this area is a responsible and positive step to help resolve this issue. I have marked my calendar for the Eagle Forum's meeting on the 18th and will try and stop by the Capitol Cafeteria for a few minutes. Feel free to have your friends and associates contact their local Representative and Senator regarding this bill to show your support. I don't anticipate any problems at this point but I have learned not to let my guard down. I anticipate making the amendments and running this bill in committee on Tuesday, January 16th at 10am in Room 130 which is the same room you were in today on the 1st floor of the Capitol.

Thank you for writing.
Rick Green
State Representative District 66

Rick Green is going to add some amendments to the bill that will do a better job of punishing companies that hire illegals. As he mentioned in the statement, HB1024 will be in committee Tuesday Jan 16th at 10:00am. It's the second bill on the committee agenda so it could be brought up around 10:30-11:30am or even later.
