Government
Hello District 75 from the State Capitol!
The legislators had another busy week under the golden dome, as the first funnel week ends on March 5th. We passed several important bills that will have an effect on almost everyone.One of the important ones passed unanimously is House File 562, which will establish more ways to fund Emergency Medical Services. This bill is very important in the rural areas where the closest EMS can be many miles and response time for emergencies can be critical. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING March 2, 2021

The Driscoll Dispatch by Senator Dawn Driscoll
The seventh week of session was busier as many bills moved out of committee. Next week is the first funnel week of this legislative session, meaning all Senate policy bills need to be out of Senate committees in order to be considered for the rest of the year. This deadline ensures we are focusing on the bills with enough support to advance through the process.
