The Senate Bill 149 ( Sb 149 )

Not only do students lose opportunity in learning from these areas, but the law is also underfunded which the defeats the purpose as well as contradicting itself in the sense that students won’t be achieving the goals set by this law. By 2011, more than 50% of schools were labeled “failing”, and lawmakers saw the need for a change, but weren’t able to produce a bill. That year, the Obama administration offered states a reprieve from many of the law’s mandates through a series of

The Mckinney act of 1987 now known as the Mckinney-Vento Homeless Act is a United state-federal legislate law that provide that fund the homeless shelter program. It is the only main federal government geared toward homeless. The Act started in 1986 as the Homeless Persons’ Survival Act. It started as pressure on the federal government to address homelessness as a national problem requiring nation response.The act was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on July 22 1987. The McKinney-Vento Act originally consisted of fifteen programs providing a range of services to homeless people, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, job training, primary health care, education, and some

This paper will discuss the elements associated with the request to amend and to enact the revised code to authorize a person not otherwise authorized to do so to administer certain drugs pursuant to delegation by an advanced practice registered nurse who holds a certificate to prescribe. This act, also known as House Bill 96, was introduced on March 3, 2015. H. B 96 was amended into Senate Bill 110.

In 1862, the Land-Grant College Act or Morrill Act was signed into being; it supplied the land for educational facilities that would focus on “agriculture and mechanic arts” and provide military training as part of the education. The act was named after Justin Smith Morrill, a congressman from Vermont, and would grant “each state 30,000 acres for each of its congressional seats.” The states could sell off the granted land to fund schools, both new and pre-existing. The Morrill Act provided the foundation for many colleges such as the University of Georgia ("Land-Grant Colleges").

As a Canadian in today’s society we believe we have a certain set of inalienable rights. One of those rights that seem to be at the forefront of the 2015 Canadian election is privacy. As Dr. Kent Roach and Dr. Craig Forcese state, “privacy is, in our society, the right to be left alone by the state.” The Conservative upbringing of Bill C-51 challenges the ideology around our right to be private, as well as our government’s role in the protection of Canada from threats of terrorism. The Harper government essentially, will increase their role in national security to keep a constant watchful eye on potentially harmful situations and end them before anyone is hurt or killed. If passed, the bill would allow the government to arrest anyone suspected of terrorism without that person even committing a crime. Furthermore, the language used in the bill is extremely vague and makes one question, where the line will be drawn? Will our basic rights to peaceful protest and free speech be affected? Unfortunately perhaps they will. One of the most concerning parts of the bill in regard to privacy is the fact that the government will now be able to access several sensitive documents about citizens from top agencies such as the Public Health Agency, Canadian Border Services Agency as well as the Canadian Border Services Agency. Privacy is changing in Canada. This is a landmark bill and as such it is creating quite a splash in the ongoing Canadian Election.

In summary, H.R. Bill 275 has been proposed by Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush in an attempt to reinstate the principles in which the NCAA was founded on. While the bill itself is quite complex, the purpose it serves is quite simple; to appoint a committee of seventeen members consisting of sports experts and members of the legislative branch. The duties of these members are to review, analyze and report on topics including, but not limited to: interaction between collegiate athletics and academics, the financing of athletic programs, the recruitment of student athletes, and the health and safety protections concerning student athletes. While the bill may have great intentions, it has its fair share of flaws.

HB 1169 was introduced on January, 3rd by representatives Rick C. Becker, B. Koppelman, Magrum, Olson, Paur, Porter, Simons; Senators O. Larsen, Luick, Myrdal, Vedaa. Under its provisions, people carrying concealed without a concealed weapons license will need to carry a form of state-issued photo ID, must be a North Dakota resident for at least 1 year, must inform police about their handgun upon contact, and must not otherwise be prohibited from possessing a firearm by law. Open carry of a loaded handgun will still require a permit. Non-residents will continue to be required to have a permit recognized by North Dakota to carry openly or concealed. The law will go into effect August 1, 2017 Gov. Doug Burgum signed the bill into law

The legislative process in Texas is full of procedural rules and regulations. In order for a bill to become a law in Texas it must meet all the requirements set forth in the Texas Constitution and successfully pass both the house and senate with the Governor signature as final authority. In February of 2015 Author Representative Elliott Naishtat and Sponsor Senator Zaffirini introduced Bill HB 1807 requiring the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to maintain an inventory of educational and supported employment services for individuals effected with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the legislative process. The house secretary assigned Bill HB 1807 it's number briefly after it's submission officially introducing

Indiana has approved House Bill 1337 which protects fetuses from being aborted once they are diagnosed with Down Syndrome inside the womb.

With new years day, 2017, Missouri Senate Bill 656 went into effect. A highly contentious change to previous laws, it was vetoed by Jay Nixon, who was in turn overridden by Republican--and one Democrat--state senators. The primary function of the bill, though certainly not the full extent, is to allow all Missouri residents the right to carry firearms concealed in public without a liscense or training. While pro-gun and pro-gun-control advocates both have their laundry lists of arguments and rebuttals, most of what the public hears about gun rights is mere rhetoric, design to sound appealing. For a true understanding of changes in gun laws, the 2nd Amendment must be understood. Senate Bill 656 is a step forward in regards to the 2nd Amendment

State Senator, Kel Seliger, wants a law that allows students to graduate without passing required tests. However, this bill has received many criticism, due to people being against lowering the standards for all Texas students. Nonetheless, the Senator and his supporters argue that it is a fantastic idea. Numerous students will be able to graduate as long as they meet the requirements of an “individual graduation committee”. They argue that many students who failed the required tests is due to a learning disability such as dyslexia, English not being the person’s native language, and etc. For example, they mention a Flower Mound who failed a required course and now has a 3.6 GPA at Oklahoma Christian University.

H.R. 3099 was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Please know I will keep your views in mind should further action be taken on this issue.

The American Dream, a dream that meanders through the minds of many immigrants upon arrival to the United States. My own family struggled to achieve this so called dream, I myself am a citizen of the U.S, but my father was not. Having a family member without any “papers” is difficult because no one really knows if that member of the family will come back home every night after work. Many consider having immigrants I the United States as a bad issue, but many don’t consider how these immigrants came to be. Many immigrants were brought to the U.S as minors when their parents first arrived in the country. The DREAM Act has helped many undocumented people get by in the U.S, but now it is in the process of getting abolished. If the Act that protects

The DREAM Act throughout its history has been repeatedly rejected by the US Congress and has been through many difficulties to be approved. This law has caused many frustrated attempts of undocumented immigrants and activists of this benefit. It is critical a thorough analysis of what this bill seeks to have so a better understanding of where it comes from and where it goes.

Initiatives like any other issues have two sides to it; we must assess both sides to get a better scope of the issue. Contrary to the believe, propositions gave some benefits to the people of California as well as the legislature. In 1911 the California legislature passed the initiative process and was later approved through an election by Californians. By doing so Californians were given the right to directly vote on constitutional amendments and statues. In California, the legislature is prohibited from repealing or amending any statutory initiatives. The first initiative that had a beneficial effect on the legislature is Proposition 1A, which professionalized the California legislature by increasing their salary from $6,000 to $16,000 per
