Please write to co-chairs of the Environment Committee, Senator Lopes and Representative Gresko in support of SB1145 and HJ37. The committee must release its Joint Favorable report on any bills they want to be considered by the full house and senate by March 27th, so we must act quickly to let them know we want these bills moved forward.
