Dear Mr. Fuller:
Per your staff's instructions, I am writing to request that I be added as a co-sponsor to Assembly Bill 387, authored by Representative Hundertmark, relating to the nursing tuition loan forgiveness program.
Because of the numerous requests for co-sponsorship that I have received recently, this important piece of legislation was overlooked. I would like to remedy that, and with your consent, lend my name to Representative Hundertmark's bill.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if there are any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Senator Spencer Coggs
Senate District 6
