		<description>I agree! I have been following (I should say trying) HSB 532  (also found as HF 2144, HSB 532, HF 2215, HF 2039 and HF 2623). 
I would really appreciate some answers to related to the compulsory age being raised from 16 to 18!
 
I would really appreciate your time in sharing with me your view on the  following questions/concerns:

 Who are the sponsors of this bill?
 What is the &#039;point&#039; of raising the age? 
What do the Sponsors of this bill think will be accomplished as a result of it&#039;s implemenation?
 
I have seen posters stating children could have their drivers license taken away if they do not attend school - directly related to the compulsory age. I don&#039;t see the bill has passed, so am trying to understand the thought behind the bill. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter and thank you for your time. 

You seem to have some strong opinions on not having this pass and I agree!
Thanks for answering!

Sincerely, 
Lori Pedersen</description>
