March 3rd, 2025

Good Morning!

Here are the bills on the House Floor on Monday March 3, 2025.

Please join me in praying for our state! There are many bills working their way through the legislative process that will have a negative impact on each and every one of our lives. These attacks include: Constitution Rights, Anti Oil& Gas, pre-emption on federal laws and local government powers, anti-business and personal tax increases, and government expansion, control and oversight.

I pray God’s continued blessings over each of you, our state and nation!
