Legislative News

Welcome to the world of politics. This section is provided to update viewers of our Lodge’s legislative priorities. Vice President Haas is the Lodge’s Legislative Coordinator. He is very active in pursuing our legislative agenda by writing letters, meeting with members of Congress and their staff and coordinating our legislative efforts with the National FOP. If you have a Local, State, or Federal legislative issue you feel we should actively engage in please contact VP Haas.

We encourage all our members and their families and friends to get involved in the political process. We also encourage our members, families and friends to support those politicians that support us and our causes this section, you will find legislative issues, news, and activities.

With 2010 upon us we are entering a new Congressional year with new opportunities to pursue our legislative agenda. This year our priority will be introducing legislation to force the US Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to provide gun lockers for their employees. This will allow BOP employees to store their personal weapons on their job site to better ensure their safety to and from the prison. We are in contact with the National FOP Legislative Office and will coordinate our efforts with them. We will provide constant updates once the bill is introduced in Congress.
