THANK YOU?to all those who have already submitted comments, testified, and contacted their delegates.?
While the proposed compensation amounts were reduced by the House (from proposed $445 for each stage of the case and $1235 for TPR in both JDR and CC to $330, an $906 for TPR in JDR/CC),?It got out of the House 95-3!
?
The bill is now in the Senate and will be heard in the Courts of Justice committee Monday at 8am. Several of the Senate Courts members are also members of Senate Appropriations ¡ª which will hear it Tuesday morning, so hopefully we will get a good reception there.?While the bill is not funded in the Senate budget since there was not a separate senate bill, Senator Surovell and Senator Deeds co-patroned the bill and filed budget amendments, so I remain hopeful.?
?
If you are represented by Sen. Surovell or Sen. Deeds, please thank them for their support when you contact them!
?
?
MOST important:?The Finance subcommittee on General Government which meets on Tuesday am at 7:30. If these are your Senators or you practice in their districts, please contact them!?

Thank you, have a great weekend!
