More information on recent legislative session...

If you are a regular visitor to my blog you know that I've been providing information on legislation passed in our recent session. While the regular media has covered some of this legislation their coverage misses a lot of the items addressed.

This week I'll highlight the public safety legislation passed. Next week I'll summarize legislation to do with education.

Briefly, legislation to do with public safety included laws passed to address the following:

• witness intimidation program/Anti-gang funding
• OUI Repeat Offenders ("Melanie's Law")
• New Driver's License Requirements for Teenagers
• Protecting Children from Sexual Predators
• Strengthening Sex Offender Oversight
• Support for Municipal Public Safety
• Carbon Monoxide Detectors ("Nicole's Law")
• Fire Safe Cigarettes
• Interstate Compact
• Public Defenders
• Voluntary Firefighter & Public Safety Personnel Benefits
• Emergency Central Artery Legislation
• Protecting Children from Sexual Solicitation

For additional information on any of these laws you can email me at RepDonato38@aol.com .

Hope everyone is enjoying what is left of the Summer.

More information next week.
