Five members of Salamander Savers waited in the Senate Gallery for HB 459. We have learned so much from this journey and listened to so many Delegates and Senators present bills that they were passionate about. We learned that just being passionate does not make a bill become a law, and sometimes it is hard to find common ground on things that seem to be simple on the surface. Our bill passed through 39-1, and we left the gallery elated. But the next question in our minds was how long before the Governor would sign the bill into law? The session ends on March 9, so it must be sometime before then.
