Bullybusters:
HB 5464: ACT CONCERNING STATE EMPLOYEES & VIOLENCE AND BULLYING IN THE
WORKPLACE has just been sent to the Legislative Commissions office on
4/4/2011. If you have friends who have not signed this petition (or if
you have not and want to), or would be willing to call their
legislators to say this bill should be brought to the floor and
passed, please let them know. This needs a big push now.
