<div>Hi Maureen - yes I think we would need a Democrat as the prime sponsor. Rep Chapman is running for Senate, and he is a moderate D. I think he would be a good prime sponsor, but I think talking with both Tharinger and Chapman isn’t a bad idea as we would
probably want both a House and Senate bill introduced.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That said, our bigger issue is the DOR fiscal note. We will need to have conversations with DOR to see if their opinion on the issue has changed in light of the BIAW case. If it has, we may not need legislation. If it hasn’t, we will be facing an uphill
battle passing a bill with a large fiscal note (doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try though, but we’d want Chapman and Tharinger to be aware of the existing fiscal note).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>

Would it be a good idea to try and get a Dem to work on this with him? I would be happy to reach out to Steve Tharinger and Mike Chapman in my district to see if they would be willing to work in this too.</div>

him to do that. Just throwing it out there.<br>
