Legislation Introduced To Give Us Protection from Emergency Lemons

(Originally posted 11/4/08)

Great News! Legislation has been introduced in the New Jersey General Assembly that would protect us against lemon-y emergency vehicles.

State Sen. Steven Oroho and State Sen. Barbara Buono have introduced S2304, and it has been sent to the Senate Commerce Committee. State Assemblyman Gary Chiusano and State Asemblywoman Allison Littell McHose have introduced A3396, which has been sent to the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee. You can track the bills yourself at http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bills/bills0001.asp.

I want to thank the legislators from the 24th District and Sen. Buono for listening to me explain the issue, doing their own investigation and then introducing this legislation. I also want to thank Jeff Spatola, who is the chief of staff in the 24th Legislative District office for his support.

Now we have to spread the word and let our legislators know that we need this law passed.
You can find out who your legislators are by going to http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp and following the directions there (if you still can’t figure it out, write me here and I’ll hook you up). It’s easy to send them an email telling them they should support these two pieces of legislation.

And please us know you’ve written and let us know if you’ve had a situation in your department where you could have used this law.
