All,
On Thursday, January 10, 2008, Representative Walt Bivins announced the Missouri Night Sky Protection Act is available for other Representatives to Co-Sponsor. He is planning to file this on January 16, 2008 upon adjournment. This Act is receiving bi-partisan support.
In his message, Representative Walt Bivins identifies this as:
"4. This legislation would apply to “Missouri Protected Places” such as parks and wilderness areas. The Sky Luminance would be phased in over time until by 2055 The Night Sky Luminance would be limited to no more than 10% of natural luminance. (4183L.01I)"
