SB 201 -- LIFELONG LEARNING MONTH SPONSOR: Sims (Farnen) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Education-Elementary and Secondary by a vote of 23 to 0. This bill requires the Governor to proclaim each February as "Lifelong Learning Month," to be observed with appropriate activities in the public schools. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that this provision was in a bill that was vetoed last year for technical reasons. Both Governor Carnahan and Governor Holden have previously issued proclamations on Lifelong Learning Month. Testifying for the bill was Senator Sims. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Becky DeNeve, Senior Legislative Analyst
