2010 SESSION HOUSE BILLS

MISSOURI FOP
DAY ON THE HILL

The Missouri State Lodge sets up days during each session of the General Assembly for members across the state to gather in Jefferson City to be briefed on pending legislation of interest, then go to the capitol to meet and greet our elected lawmakers.  Each year there are many bills filed that are of direct concern to our members, our families and our profession.  We must, as a group, actively support favorable legislation and actively oppose unfavorable legislation.

Please make an effort to attend!  We cannot succeed without your help!  It benefits us all when members learn firsthand how the legislative process works and then participate in that process.  

DAY ON THE HILL 2010
Tuesday April 13, 2010
Briefing: 9:30 a.m.

Coffee & Donuts at 9 a.m.
Lunch served at the Lodge at 2 p.m.
