Legislative update: August 26, 2010

Calls to two Senators are needed to ensure passage of AB 2084: Senator Ducheny and Senator Wright.  These two Senators voted no when AB 2084 came before the Senate for a vote earlier this week.  The bill is expected to be brought up again for a second vote.  This action will take place before August 31, when the Legislature recesses. 
                                                    
Calls are also needed to support the continued funding of the Fitnessgram.
