Michigan: Update on Homeschool Registration Bill
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:
Thank you for your calls and emails! They are causing quite a stir in
the legislature.
The office of one of H.B. 5912’s co-sponsors said: “there is no other group in Lansing that the representative and his colleagues have found more passionate… than homeschoolers (we’re hearing from homeschoolers who don’t even live in our district!).” One report has indicated that H.B. 5912 will likely never get out of committee this session and would thus have to be reintroduced next session.
Other co-sponsors have indicated to their callers that they are wavering on whether to continue their support. However, keep your calls coming so that this bill will not “see the light of day.” We hope the affect of these calls will make it clear to the sponsoring representatives that we do not want this bill being introduced next year, either.
ACTION REQUESTED
Please stop calling Representative Joel Sheltrown. He has withdrawn his sponsorship due to the phone calls.
Thank you for your continued calls and emails to other sponsors of HB 5912 and to your state representatives.
Interesting… I’m watching this story very closely and I’m interested to see where it goes.
