Show 2 SunNevOs March 3, 2004 Several Bills introduced Utah Daily Industry Honors Leaders, Innovators by Johnson will help rural famiiicsJumored Utahns in the future At the recent annual dairy Representative Johnson's Legislative Review These last few weeks hae been very busy. I was honored to hat e students from South Se ier, Cedar Hills, and Gunnison High Schools come and see how things work at the Capitol. I have had two of my bills, HB 92 the Brucellosis Bill and I IB 88 on the State Land Plan, pass the Senate. They are awaiting the signature of the Go ernor. This last week we tackled some tough issues. We passed a bill through the House that requires public libraries to put internet filters on their computers, so that minors cannot access pornographic material from them. I also voted for many other measures that will help the citizens of the state be more secure and feel safer. One resolution supports our law enforcement officers in drawing the blood of repeat DUI suspects, when the suspect refuses a field sobriety test. I also voted to toughen up punishments of repeat offenders of driving under the influence. My transferability of credit amongst institutions of higher education bill passed easily through the House and is currently in the Senate waiting for a vote. The members of the House of Representatives also passed two very important resolutions. The Gunnison Valley News first was to honor and support the military men and women from Utah that are selflessly sen ing their state and country. This resolution also tells the government in Washington D.C. how important the military bases and depots in our state are to us. The second was to let the citizens of Utah hae a ote in the upcoming election on whether or not the Utah constitution should be amended to say that a marriage is the union of one man and one woman. It would go on to say that the state of Utah will not recognize any other types of ci il unions or marriages from other states. For the younger generation, I stood up and spoke in behalf of altering the age at which a young man or young woman can get their practice permit for their driver's license. It passed the House and was forwarded to the Senate for their consideration. If it passes and the Governor signs it a young person will be able to receive their permit at the age of 15 1 2" instead of "15 34". This new measure will also increase the amount of hours of driving practice required to obtain a driver's license. This will make a young person more confident behind the wheel and hopefully it will make the streets a little safer. Thank you for your support I and for the letters and receive. I enjoy helping and serving you in these important matters. Salina Sun ISSN (1085-251USPS 232-00- 0 USPS 4) Periodicals postage paid at Gunnison, Utah.
