We need Calls, Emails, etc. and as many Watercraft Owners as p[ossible to show up Thursday Morning.

#1) Pass H.F. #184
#2) Kill H.F. #1065
#3) Read H.F. 570 and decide. Personally I believe this is a waste of our Tax Dollars and it would be better spent on Research to find way of eradicating AIS. This Bill would repeal the law passing out $10 Million to Counties for AIS Programs based 50% on the number of Boat Access & 50% on the number of Trailer Parking spots for Watercraft at those Accesses.

Here is the list of Committee Members,
start calling, emails, etc., let’s get their attention:
