CONTINUE TO HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE - ACT NOW TO PROTECT OUR WATER! Important Vote on House Bill 421 (Fertilizer Preemption) - Wednesday Morning
House Bill 421 - Fertilizer Preemption on Community & Military Affairs Subcommittee Agenda this Wednesday, January 25th. Your calls and emails are essential to ensure our Representatives stand strong against pressure and vote for their constituents. Make sure committee members know we are counting on them!
HB 421 – Fertilizer was temporarily postponed (TP’d) in the House Community and Military Affairs Subcommittee last week. The bill was amended to preempt enforcement of rainy season application bans for lawn care workers – who apply more fertilizer to lawns than anyone else. There were enough NO votes to kill the bill in committee, but it was TP’d to delay final action, giving leadership a chance to try to pressure the “No” votes into changing their minds.
