Sponsor introduces bill to protect entry‑level performers from exploitative promoters; committee schedules follow‑up In a first hearing, Representative Gilliard presented HB 1400 to require fair practices for promoters and protections for entry‑level artists; members questioned whether promoter licensing is municipal or state matter and asked for clearer licensure criteria; the sponsor said he is open to amendments.

A hand holding an embroidery hoop on light pink fabric. It features two black cats, several different houseplants, a pennant banner, and a green and white rug on a hardwood floor. White background with small black scissors partially covered by the hoop.

Just finished this one up last night - such an enjoyable project to work on and is giving me lots of inspiration for more pieces like this 💚🐈‍⬛🪴
