Sierrans:
The following are the Bills Of Interest introduced during last week, or
updates of those which saw any action that week. This list builds on
previous lists. Bills drafting is beginning to catch up, so lots of bills
are being introduced now.
Note SFs 133 and 153 beginning the development of important energy related
legislation. These we will stay closely abreast as developments occur.
The weblinks for each bill should be 'live' and clicking would take you to
the bill text.
