Complete details on the two right-to-die bills (HB 2311 and HB 2313) can be 
found here:
http://www.choicesarizona.org/legislation.htm
We are currently trying to get a hearing in the Human Services 
Committee.  The House Speaker, James P. Weiers has asked the Chairman of 
that committee not to hear the bills, and the Speaker has sole discretion 
to completely block the bills once heard.  The best we can hope for this 
year is a committee hearing, and we may well not even get that.

If you live in Arizona and would like to get district-specific email 
legislative alerts on these bills, please email me.

Best wishes,
