Environmental education plates face amendments in Senate bill
State education officials say they were not informed of Tuesday amendments to the environmental plates bill. The proposed changes would replace the focus on environmental values with language about presenting environmental controversies. The bill aims to keep production of plates alive, noting 12,500 sold and over $200,000 raised for environmental education. The Senate already cleared the bill, and it now goes to a House vote.
