Hi Ms. Schmal. The subcommittee will begin work shopping regulation issues for a potential bill the first week in March. I will keep you posted. Have a nice weekend!

Hello Teddi,

I was wondering if it any progress was made to allow a baking business from our homes has been submitted. I know you mentioned that legislation is back in session in March, but I’m not at all familiar with the process of amending a law or getting a bill into law. I have been reading some of the documents that are online but haven’t seen anything regarding a Home Baking business being exempt or being submitted to become law. A lot of people have been contacting me wondering what they can do to help get this passed. We have a petition online with 789 signatures. http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?FLcottag If there is anything we can do to help just let me know.

I know your busy and don’t want to bother you I just need a clarification on the process to get a bill passed or amend an existing law.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Barbara Schmal
