FROM THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE

Hello Highlanders!

I hope you are all doing well. As you may know, Legislative Review Committee meetings for the Winter 2023 quarter are officially being held on Fridays from 12 PM - 1 PM. Therefore, if you are interested in submitting any legislation for review, please be sure to do so before 9 AM each Friday. All legislation should be submitted to the asucrprotempore at ucr.edu email address. After your submission is received, you will be sent a google invite including the Zoom link to the meeting. Finally, please be sure to have at least one of the primary authors present in order to present your legislation as the committee can not pass legislation that does not have representation. Thank you all in advance for your time and understanding!

Also, a quick reminder that CHASS Town Hall is this Thursday the 23rd from 12-1pm in the Senate Chambers (HUB 221)!! Come out to meet your representatives, enjoy some free pizza, and enter Amazon gift card giveaways. See you there!
