Good Home School Bill Needs Support
Please contact your State Representative, and ask him or her to vote for SB578. This good bill ensures that home schooled students will be able to compete for the Governor’s Distinguished Scholar scholarship. Current law makes it almost impossible for home schooled students to receive this prestigious scholarship.
This bill is scheduled for a vote in the Arkansas House on Thursday afternoon. Please call and leave a message for your representative at (501) 682-6211.
Two of Our Bills Are Now Law!
Two bills backed by Family Council have now become law.
HB1369 by Rep. Shepherd, creating a back-to-school tax-free holiday, was signed into law yesterday by Governor Beebe.
SB274 by Senator Gilbert Baker, exempting any used car sold for less than $4,000 from state sales tax, was also signed by the Governor.
