So, if you want to “do something” after a disaster, take a Red Cross First Aid Class!
Take along friends, your book group, your family, your softball league, etc., and plan a celebration in honor of your new life-saving skills.
The Oregon Legislative Library’s Reference Librarian* answers our ‘floor letter’ question. (The “Note from Mother” question is answered at the end of this blog post. Who said watching the Oregon Legislature wasn’t fun?!)
“A ‘floor letter’ is information put on each member’s desk during a session the day of a measure’s 3rd reading and subsequent floor vote. The floor letter has to be identified as originating ‘from the desk of’ a member.
Essentially, it’s like a last ditch effort to make a point.

Hawaii Governor Abercrombie signed UELMA into law on April 11th. It is Act 11 of the 2013 Legislature.
Hawaii is the 5th state to enact UELMA, following North Dakota where it became law last week. Hawaii is the first state to include Judicial information in the law, and it will be a model for other states looking to include court opinions and other Judicial materials.
UELMA is on the Oregon Legislature’s radar this 2013 regular session. Read more about UELMA in Oregon.
