I'm changing up the report a little. Below is a tracking list with all of the bills that are currently being followed, under the remark heading is the current position of Missouri REALTORS® on the legislation. This gives you one place to look and see the bills and their status. A problem is that these bills numbers are not linked, I'll eventually learn how to automatically link them so you can read the entire bill. View this as a work in progress.
Let me know what you think, if you like it tell me, if you don't I need to know that as well.
Thanks
