What you can do to get Move to Amend's bills to the floor for a vote!

[Jeff Clark]

I made this pitch to Stan this morning, before we really got started. But here are the complete details I'll be sharing with our social media later today.

Right now, our two MN legislative bills are poised for a floor vote:

1. HF1064 is in the "general register," and just has to be scheduled for a vote by Speaker Melissa Hortman.

2. SF384 is in its final clearing committee, Rules & Admin, and just needs to receive its hearing, then be placed in the general register and chosen for a vote by Speaker Erin Murphy. Conveniently, Murphy is also the chair of the Rules & Admin committee.

So... you can help by both contacting the two speakers to support a vote, and your own legislators to do the same. All of us can contact the speakers about a vote because, in their roles as speaker or chair & speaker, they serve all of us not just their district constituents.
