Department Commanders’ Pass Down log
Success at the Capital today! The first step towards HB108 being good for veterans has passed out of committee. With the combined forces of the Legion, the VFW, the DAV and 14 other veteran’s organization standing together as one loud voice, HB108 passed out of committee with the following amendments: All lawyers must be accredited; there will be a $10,000 fine for misconduct by lawyers, and a billing ceiling of $12,500.
We fought for these amendments and we won. The battle is not over. It must still pass a vote on the floor in full session. Please call your Georgia state representative and demand they vote yes on HB108.
This is why our membership numbers mean so much. The more members, the louder our voice! Thank you for fighting with us on this issue. Keep up the Fire!
