Bill HF1283 was read in the State Legislature on 3/23/2011. Some of you out there may be interested in this modifcation to state law. Representative Tom Hackbarth is proposing it. Looks positive to me overall but if anyone has any more in depth info on where the motivation for this bill is coming from please sound off in the comments.
