While being
Perfected an amendment was added to House Bill 564 by Representative
Holand from Springfield that would have created a "Provisional
Public School Certificate" for educational interpreters who were
simply nominated by their local school district. That bill passed
the House, but when it was considered in the Senate by the Financial
and Governmental Organization, Veteran's Affairs and Elections
Committee that amendment was deleted. The bill was then voted "Do
Pass" by that committee, but the chair of the committee (Senator
Yeckel) indicated that she would put the amendment back on the bill
when it came up for Third Reading. The bill was first placed on the
formal calendar of House Bills for Third Reading, but was later
moved to the Senate informal calendar of House Bills for Third
Reading, where it died on the last day of the legislative session.
MCDHH wishes to thank everyone who contacted their senator and
expressed support for our opposition to the language of the Holand
amendment. |
