Assembly Passes Mark's Law



"Today the Assembly passed several key measures that were in my proposed enhancement to Mark’s Law, which increases penalties for persons who kill first responders: our firefighters and EMTs, addressing irresponsible handling of weapons, and requiring limiting access to weapons by the mentally unstable and others that are not permitted to possess guns.  The bill also limits pistol permit information available to the public." 

"I believe that today, in passing the Mark’s Law provisions, we are honoring our commitment to our first responders. By passing measures to keep guns out of the hands of those that tend to target our volunteers and children, we are honoring all our first responders and the memories of those that have died needlessly including Mark Davis"
