Dear Stakeholders:
 
The State Board of Guide Dogs for the Blind (Board) will submit its Sunset Review Report to the Senate Business Professions and Economic Development Committee (Committee) on Thursday, November 1. The Board will then send a copy of the report to all of its stakeholders and post a copy on its Web site. We will give each of you an opportunity to review the document and then schedule conference calls with each of you to go over any questions or concerns you may have. Briefly, below are a few bullets to keep in mind when reviewing the document:
 
·         After the report is submitted, the Committee may have follow up questions for the Board.
·         Sunset Review hearings will take place in Spring 2013
·         Concurrently, the Committee will pursue legislation to extend the Board until a Committee recommendation has been made. Also, there will be clean up legislation that will address minor technical changes to the B&P Code.
·         According to the Committee, the Board’s governing laws (licensing, fees, guide dog instruction, etc.) will remain in place regardless of a decision to extend the Board. The functions may continue in a Board structure, or move to another Department.
 
I look forward to talking to each of you in the coming months. Take care.
