Step 3: Death to S.B. 459, if any of these steps fail.
ACTION – Support. (a) Ask Senator Shafer – 404 656-0048 – to request Representative Parsons to schedule a hearing and pass it into Rules Committee.
(b) Ask Representative Parsons – 404 656-9198 – to pass S.B. 459 out of his committee. Then it goes to the Rules Committee, where it must pass before the full House can vote on it.
