  LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY

The AMWUA Legislative Summary tracks water-related legislation of interest to AMWUA and its member municipalities. It is updated and disseminated at the end of every week during the legislative season. Within its pages can be found the following:
  • A brief description of the bill as introduced with the primary sponsors identified
  • The current Status of the bill in the legislative process
  • The AMWUA Position on the bill, if any, and a brief explanation
  • Notes identified by date which describe what happened to or about the bill in the previous week. Amendments are identified and briefly analyzed
As bills fall into inactive status during session, they are pulled from the Legislative Summary and are placed into a supplementary document, the Legislative Summary Inactive Bills List. At the end of the session, the documents are again combined and posted as the final edition for the year.

The Legislative Summary is written by AMWUA's Program Manager for policy issues, Pat Hill. Pat joined the AMWUA staff in October of 2006.

Bob McCain, who retired in July of 2006 from that position, is the author of the past editions of the Summary archived here on the AMWUA Web site. Those who know Bob and are familiar with AMWUA's Legislative Program are accustomed to Bob's sense of humor and style of writing. For those who are not, we feel we should warn you in advance that the notes in the Summary contain editorial comments and attempts (by Bob's admission, usually feeble attempts) at humor.

Comments and suggestions for improvement are eagerly solicited and always appreciated. If you do have comments, they can be e-mailed to webmaster@amwua.org.
