HA 1 to HB 79PassedBradyThis amendment makes a technical change to avoid potential conflict with another currently pending bill. 
HA 1 to HB 124PassedGriffithThis Amendment amends HB 124 by specifying that a person know, not just have a reason to know, that the person is subject to a Family Court protection from abuse order before the person becomes a person prohibited from purchasing, owning, possessing or controlling a deadly weapon. It also specifies that a person know that the person is the subject of an active arrest warrant or post-arrest charges, indictment or information before the person becomes a person prohibited from purchasing a firearm. 
HA 1 to HB 128PassedGriffithThis Amendment clarifies that the type of services to be provided to eligible students under HB 128 are those transition services necessary to support a child’s achievement of post-secondary goals because students turning 21 in the 2020-2021 school year are transitioning to post-secondary activities. If transition services and activities for those students were adversely affected by the State of Emergency Due to the Public Health Threat caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the student so affected will be offered an extension of services until post-secondary goals are met or the end of the 2021-2022 school year, whichever is earlier. The IEP team will determine whether there is a basis for extension of services and if so, the nature and duration of the services to be provided. This Amendment also clarifies the source of funding for services to be provided to eligible students is federal funding through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. Accordingly, eligible students will not be included in the annual unit count. 
HA 1 to HB 175StrickenMorrisonThis Amendment removes quotation marks around “redeem” and “exchange” in line 24. The Amendment also removes the requirement that a student’s parent or guardian provide prior written permission for a student to be absent from school to participate in a civic engagement. In place of the requirement to provide prior written permission, this Amendment allows schools and school districts to require students to provide a written note from their parent or guardian documenting the excused absence after the absence has occurred.
