Just because I'm back in Anchorage, doesn't mean you have to forget about Juneau and the last week of lawmaking. A key goal of my blogging was to let everyone know how easy it is to get information. (Well, like most things computer, it does take a little patience, but the information is all there and it's not that hard to figure out.)

Here's the main link to BASIS (Bill Action Status Inquiry System)

Here's the link to see what currently is up on the House Floor.  (scheduled for 10:30am today)

Here's the link to see what currently is up on the Senate Floor.  (Scheduled for 11am, so it will probably be shown delayed after the House Session)

Here's the link to Gavel to Gavel where you can find ways to watch the Legislature (floor sessions, committees, media sessions, etc.) on television or online.

Among other things on the House Agenda today is a resolution for a Constitutional Amendment  to allow Alaskans to not cooperate with some provisions of the National Health Law, like mandatory insurance.  I'm pretty sure constitutional amendments need a 2/3 majority so it is highly unlikely this will pass.
