This just in from SITRAS newsletter:
After being stalled last session, S.B. 486 passed the Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee in a 5-4 vote on Tuesday, 8 March 2005. There were some amendments made to the Bill during the hearing so final language will be available soon. The Bill will now be slated for vote by the Senate before becoming law.
Mike Jones at Userplane is emailing the industry about recent California and Texas legislation and the IADW has sent out a press release outlining their position.
Rich Gosse of the IADW has reached out to other groups which I think is a good thing. Legislators need to hear industry concerns from a loud and clear voice made up of a solid cross-section of the industry. Whether that’s Idea Oasis or Sitras or IADW is up to you. Visit the sites, read their opinions and get involved.
