#Paleo. Certfication Bill
Thiis is to notify everyone in the dinosaur Forum about a Bill going for the
state legislature in Utah. I was asked to write a letter in support of the Bill
and I thought others in the forum might as well. It is:
HB-52 submitted by Representitive Tom Mathews
on
Paleontological Certification of Volunteers
Basically this Bill requests $20,000 from the legislature in support of
Paleontological training programs organized by the Utah Friends of Paleontology
UFOP. These funds will be used pay for equipment and to bring in outside
instructors to train voluteers in vertebrate paleo. excavation, preparation and
curation. As there are very few professional paleontologists in Utah, a strong
volunteer program has proved essential in developing Utah's vast
paleontological potential.
