   • Legislative Update, Dave Kriz
     I am talking to Senator Tupa, Representative Benefield and Representative Todd about possible physical education bills and the best strategy for success this year. I am also having conversations with AHA’s Erin Bertoli and Brendan Burns, soliciting their support for all our issues but specifically a “physical education requirement” bill. Senator Tupa would rather not initiate this legislation in the Senate but is committed to co-sponsoring it after the House’s proposal, committee work and, hopefully, floor passage. As soon as a meeting schedule can be confirmed, I will contact Sue Brittenham, Diane Speer, Shelly Raemer, Diane Kris and Kathleen Kinkema.

     Paula Kun from AAHPERD has sent supportive materials that will be helpful in promoting our cause. I have ordered 5 copies of NASPE’s Shape of the Nation report to give to Senator Tupa and Representatives Todd and Benefield. Sue Brittenham will make a motion, today, to purchase 100 copies of this document for all Colorado legislators (35 Senators and 65 House members). I asked Sue Brittenham to open a discussion about the possibility of inviting our advocate legislators (4 if we include Senator Windels- chair of the Education committee) to the Awards dinner during the convention.

     I do not want to give the impression that past vetoed legislation has been forgotten. HB 1237 (recognizing quality PE programs), HB 1021 (requiring an endorsement to teach PE) and HB 1363 (funding after school programs) will be reintroduced this year. With the AHA legislative grassroots network including COAHPERD members, I am confident that our issues will be understood and supported at the capitol in January.

     I plan on attending the convention and giving updates when possible. I hope to make a space near the registration desk to introduce myself to our members as well as take their ideas for future legislation. Thank you for your support as I continue to fight for the mission of COAHPERD at the capitol
