Justin,
By this point in our history, it should not take legislation to urge
acceptance of NOMC, as it is pure discrimination at this point. It seems
like it is merely an HR policy that is out dated and needs revising.
Attached is the Louisiana O&M rule on licensure, and this has now been on
our books for about 14 years.

Hello Justin,
I have attached a copy of the 29th IRI, that Dr. Schroeter was referencing.
I hope this is helpful.

Subject: [Nomc] Resolution about Structured Discovery in K-12 Schools in
State Legislature
Aloha Colleagues,
A set of resolutions was just introduced in the Hawaii State Legislature
that urges the Hawaii Department of Education to accept the NOMC for
teachers of orientation and mobility, which it currently does not. Have any
other state legislatures had any resolutions like this?
Here are the links to the concurrent resolutions, which include links to
their non-concurrent companions:

Mahalo,
