<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;"><span style='color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;'>Your engagement with our Representatives helped pass six of the seven library tax capture relief bills; SB 619 - 624 all passed late last night and early
this morning. SB 579 impacting Brownfields did not pass. The House added a technical amendment to the remaining bills so now they go back to the Senate for concurrence. We expect to see that happen this morning. We'll send complete information as soon as the
Senate concurs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
