SB132 In The Senate Tomorrow

Maybe.

Tomorrow the Senate Rules Committee is going to propose one special order calendar with nothing but a bill that would decrease regulation on AT&T, and then if/when that bill either passes or is voted down, they intend to follow it with another special order calendar with several bills, one of which is the Gourmet Beer Bill.

If they can finish debate on the deregulation bill, then we'll have a floor vote on our bill tomorrow. But we have reason to believe they will get bogged down on that first bill and never make it to the second special order calendar. If that happens, they will carry over the second calendar (with our bill) until the next legislative day, which will be the Tuesday after Spring Break (SB is next week).

Since we can't predict what will happen tomorrow, we're asking all of our supporters to contact their Senators right now expressing their support for SB132. If they fail to make it to our bill tomorrow, then we'll update everyone on how things look for the Tuesday after the break.

Keep your eye on www.twitter.com/freethehops for live updates on what's happening in the Senate tomorrow. They will convene at 10am. Live updates may not begin until a bit later, though. The first 30 - 45 minutes will probably be a lot of procedural drudgery.
