Arkansas: House Committee Expected to Hear Critical Self-Defense Legislation Tomorrow

Tuesday, March 12, 2013

House Bill 1819, an important reform to the Governor's Emergency Powers, is expected to be heard tomorrow in the House State Agencies & Governmental Affairs Committee.

This committee is scheduled to meet tomorrow, at 10:00 AM in Room 151 of the State Capitol in Little Rock, so please attend to support HB 1819 if possible.
