BTW, I just received an e-mail yesterday from my Senator's Director concerning the Legislation
"Patricia's Law", that I have been working in NJ. The Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee will be convening a meeting
on May 10 to review the Bill so I will be going again to Trenton to testify. On Feb 26, I testified for the Senate Law and
Public Safety Committee prior to the Bill being passed out of that committee. I am hopeful that the result will be the same.
It will go to the appropriation committee in mid May and then hopefully to a joint session in June for a full vote. We are getting closer to
passing this new Missing Person legislation, "Patricia's Law" in NJ.

Last Friday, the state of Indiana took a stance and demonstrated its shared view of timeliness. Passing a bill into law, Gov. Mitch Daniels signed off requiring police to immediately begin investigating missing person’s cases. The law was named after Eastern Kentucky University student Molly Dattilo, of Madison, who disappeared from Indianapolis nearly three years ago. “Molly’s Law” was supported by her family and the loved ones of other fellow missing Hoosiers.
