Pivotal Legislation

Representative Romero's bill on Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, HB 286, passed nearly unanimously in both Houses, but it received a lot of attention from the media. Two of the main lobbyists for this bill were Elizabeth Smart and the Brown family, and they were present for many of the steps in the Legislative process.

Elections
