AD Member	posted 11-25-2008 08:34 PM All, I'm current Sec/Treasurer of the VPA. This is the same bill from 2003 that was not passed, only change is a different Patron, Tommy Wright instead of Del. Cosgrove. DPOR (state licensing board)is opposed to any bill wanting to eliminate licensing and legalize CVSA. My understanding is that nothing will move on this until Jan. IP: Logged
Barry C Member	posted 11-26-2008 04:16 PM Do you guys need any help with it? The APA might be able to be of some assistance if you need them. The AAPP has some good docs posted on their site that would be good to have as ammunition too. IP: Logged
