The “Dual Participation Bill” passed out of the Senate Education Committee back to the Senate floor with a favorable recommendation. It passed with a unanimous vote with one abstention. Now is the time for everyone to send faxes, emails and make some phone calls to the senators. This bill is by no means a “slam dunk” to get passed by the Senate. Hopefully, when it goes back to the Senate floor, it will not be opposed by one of the senators. This would hold the bill up even further. There is a possible “clarification of terminology” that may be put in the bill that supposedly will guarantee that a coach’s authority to make rules for the team is not compromised. The email addresses for the senators are:
