In human days it is taking a long time. But we are talking politician days here!

Hang tough. We only have to fight the best fight we can!

Not discouraged. Keep in mind, they were already two weeks behind when they started going through the bills. I would say, we are right on schedule here. No point in being discouraged, just keep focused on the future and hang tough. We are going to see this through.

Tomorrow is Tuesday again. My fingers are crossed in hopes that we hear something... anything! Not holding my breath but definately crossing my fingers and toes!

Kelley-
Have you heard any thing from Patrick about if they are planning on doing anything about the bill tommorrow?

I cant wait to hear on this, I also sent my letter to Kelly and THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! once again things have changed for me, out of work due to a injury at work, so I cant go back to work for 1mo...AGAIN...and...ontop of that workers comp is saying they might not pay.

So this bill is very important to myself to support my daug. KEEP US POSTED PLEASE!!!!! I went to the site to try and track the bill, I got confused on how too....any ideas?

I have not heard from Patrick, but I will be watching the hearing tomorrow to see if they vote on it during pending business. Fingers (and toes) crossed.

If you're not already on my email list, please email me at [email protected] to be sure you get updates!!!

Alright Folks...the feed is up and running. They are just starting. Here's the link:

They didn't do pending business first. We are watching boring immunization/pharmacy stuff.

Right now they are listening to testimony on a bill about reimbursements for immunizations.

Hopefully they will get to the voting before they recess to go to the full House.

SINGING _ Anticipation, Anticipa-a-a-tion, and it's keeping me wa-a-aiting!

I think is pretty neat. This would mean that I wouldn't have to wait 3 hours in the doctors office for a 5 minute shot. In my community, there are 7 doctors and on average, about 1500 patients EACH. Excluding the people who do not go to the doctor, or who travel 100 miles to see the next nearest doctor.

Hey, wait a sec! They are saying that some Pharmacists ALREADY give immunizations??? UGH! Well that excludes us! There are no Pharmacists that give shots here.
Looks like I am still waiting!

I am working and listening to the Committee in the background however, if I just heard correctly, they won't be voting on any pending bills today. It will be on their agenda for tomorrow. (Which tomorrow is a lighter load according to the notice of public hearing so they will be much easier to fit in.) It stinks that I will be in meetings and testing kids all day tomorrow so I won't be able to listen like I can today at home.

Did anyone else understand this to be what I understood?

Committee just broke to go to the floor. No pending business thus far. However, if I heard correctly, they will not be voting bills out of the committee today, but will be voting them out tomorrow instead.

So, another day to wait.

They've adjourned until after Session. They will not be voting until tomorrow.

Anything new?

The committee will meet after the house adjourns. I don't know what time that is or on which stream it will be one. If anyone knows, please post.

They will not be voting on the bill today.

are we getting stalled and put off?? Doesn't give you that warm and fuzzy feeling right now, does it.

No it doesn't. I'm trying to believe that this is the normal process and that Patrick from Gattis' office would let us know if we needed to do something.

Anything new from yesterday?

No, we still haven't heard of when they are actually going to be voting on our bill.

Anything since last week?

Nothing yet...will be watching tomorrow.

Here we GO!!

Kelly, thanks for spearheading this....count me in for the trip to Austin!!! Maybe if we arrive with some "home made" goodies for the committee members to enjoy, they will see what a good thing it would be....HEY, if the corporate lobbyist can do, why can't some home bakers!!!!!!!! Anyone else from the Frisco area? We could carrivan!!!!!!!

For those unable to watch the feed, the committee did not start off with pending business again, but started with a bill dealing with medical licensing/schools. They might be discussing that one for a while.

Happy thoughts this morning!

Are we up again today?!!! gosh, I hope we get some results and soon. Does anyone know when they will decided on this and pass it? I dont know how this work.

I cant believe with so many of us needing/wanting this bill to pass that theres only like 897 watching this topic!!!

KEEP ME POSTED AND LETS KEEP PRAYING!!!!

They have adjourned until 45 min after the House Session ends.

Hopefully they will follow the pattern of the past couple meetings, and vote on pending bills right after they reconvene.
