    SOUTHEAST LAW INSTITUTE™ A. ERIC JOHNSTON 3800 Colonnade Parkway, Suite 545 HARRY O. YATES President Birmingham, Alabama 35243 Executive Director General Counsel E-mail: [email protected] Associate Counsel Telephone: (205) 968-0900 Facsimile: (205) 968-6534 May 2002 Dear SLI Supporter: This month we have the most extraordinary good news to report. Although you have probably heard about it, the Woman's Right to Know bill has now become law that will soon go into effect. This month's educational memo gives an explanation of what happened. In addition to this, other legislative results are that the proposal amendment to add "sexual orientation" to Alabama's "Hate Crimes Law" did not pass. Unfortunately, the "Historic Documents Act" (requiring postings of the Ten Commandments, Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights) died in the House after having passed all committees and the Senate. With the conclusion of the legislative session, we will now turn to other matters, which have come to us. Since it is an election year, it is doubtful there will be a "special session" of the legislature to deal with any issue. There was some talk of having a special session to deal with the issue of whether Alabama needs a new constitution. I believe it is safe to say that legislators are not interested in that issue and hopefully we will avoid a special session. We should however, keep informed and on top of the constitution issue. If you need information please call or email. SLI is always blessed to be a part of the legislative process.
