[NFBMT] National Legislative Update: S. 3238

[BRUCE&JOY BRESLAUER]

Good morning fellow Montana Federationists!

 

Yesterday, November 18, 2021, the Transformation To Competitive Integrated Employment Act (S. 3238) was introduced in the Senate, sponsored by Senator Bob Casey (D. PA) and co-sponsored by Senator Steve Daines, (R. MT.)  We are very thankful for this bipartisan support.
