You?d think wouldn?t you? I don?t know about Hawaii but Oklahoma is about 40 years behind the rest of the country. There will be pockets of resistance all over the world for the rest of our lives and for the next several generations. We just have to hang in there and keep passing this information around and doing what we can where we can. Hang in there Justin, he may be walking alone and it sure feels like I am but I know we?re marching together. Sent from my iPhone

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.

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:
Senate: https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SCR&billnumber=141&year=2019
House: https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HCR&billnumber=192&year=2019
Mahalo,
Justin
