As member of PPIAC, I wanted to share this GREAT news with all of my colleagues that supported us - as individuals and various association members. My personal and professional thanks to EVERYONE. On a similar note - the fight is not completely over, a similar but more profound bill introduced by Sen. Arlen Specter is at the national level. This is reposted from the WAD listserv with the permission of PPIAC former president and WAD board member Bob Heales:

COLORADO ANTI-SURVEILLANCE BILL DEFEATED!

Colorado HB 1012 was defeated when the Senate Judiciary Committee voted against it 4 to 3 on Wednesday. This bill would have drastically impacted the ability of employers and insurance companies to conduct surveillance on suspected fraudulent or exaggerated worker’s compensation claims.

The Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado waged war on this terrible bill with the assistance of members and non-members alike. In addition to substantial grass roots lobbying, PPIAC hired a lobbyist to assist in the battle. The lobbyist was paid for partially from PPIAC funds, and approximately 50% of the cost came from members and non-members.

It did not go unnoticed that the WAD Board voted to donate $1,000 toward this fight from its legislative fund. This is the first time WAD donated money to any group other than a national association. The WAD donation was much appreciated by the Board, Officers, and Members of PPIAC.

In addition to WAD’s help, the National Council of Investigation and Security Services assisted with letters being sent from Officers and the Legislative Director. A sample letter was also written for PPIAC’s use by the NCISS Lobbyist, Larry Sabbath of Washington, D.C.

If not for one brave Senator who voted against party lines to do the right thing, WAD members in Colorado would still be fighting for their livelihoods. Thank you to Senator Linda Newell, www.linda4senate.com 

Just another example of unity. In Unity There is Strength.
