throughout this session. Our primary priorities this session include:

Three additional priorities are nonetheless very important to us. They include:

-
Tactile and Braille flags for veteran cemeteries (Sen. Simonaire and Del. Kaiser)
-
Establishment of a grant program for service animal training (Sen. Simonaire and Del. Lehman)
