sunny reports from the south! Larry Flood will step in for our snowbird. As
reported last month there are a couple bills to keep an eye on - HB4736 raising
the price of plates and HB4651 involving endorsements. Next bill up that we
should watch is HB4853 which is proposing to raise the cost of endorsement
class from $25 to $50. Awareness is working very hard and is just at the brink
of breaking 700 students taught for the year! GREAT JOB Awareness TEAM!!! Every
student taught is a life saved and helps promote keeping us all safe. Thank you
