The House bill (HB 816) that would require schools
to treat American Sign Language as a "foreign language" for credit
granting purposes, allow students to proficiency ASL, and allow ASL
to be used for meeting admission and graduation requirements was
referred to the House Education Committee on
1/29/04. Those advocates who are interested in moving this bill
should contact Representative Jane Cunningham, who is the chair of
the House Education Committee, and request that HB 816 be scheduled
for a public hearing. Contact information for Representative
