Need Fast Help For Legislation

Dear IRTA Members:

Our bill, HB 1227, that will give us a 13th check with a $50 supplement is well on its way through the House of Representatives. The Legislative Committee is asking you to send a note to your representative, asking him or her to please vote for HB 1227 when it comes to the House floor for the final vote. This will happen soon so emails need to go out asap. An email should go to h__@iga.in.gov. (Fill in the blank with your house district number.)

If you need to look up your district and the representative, go to the Indiana General Assembly's “Find my Legislator” page at iga.in.gov/legislative/find-legislators/. Fill in your address and the House member’s picture and the district number will be on the screen that comes up.

These notes only need to be a few sentences, but if you can include a story about how the 13th check really helps in some specific way, that would be good. We want to flood the House membership so that we will have their support when the bill goes to the Senate. We are concerned that we’ll face some difficulty there.

I know we can rely on you to help us get this bill passed. If you have any questions, email me at tols2528@aol.com.

Thank you for the support,

Nancy Tolson, IRTA Legislative Committee chair
