| Hi
There! It is a pleasure and honor to serve as the State Senator
from Maryland Legislative District 17, comprising Rockville, Gaithersburg,
and Garrett Park.
Serving in the General Assembly for 30 years, I am
responsible for a number of State laws spanning
issues from transportation to health care to
economic stimulus to criminal law.
My past experience is invaluable in my
legislative work this Session. For example, my
bill to prohibit genetic discrimination in underwriting long-term
care insurance builds on my past efforts to protect genetic
privacy that started with my first legislation on this topic in
1994.
Among other bills I introduced this Session are
measures to:
-
Create a safety study of ATVs,
unregulated vehicles which cause serious injuries to
hundreds of children;
-
Strengthen
protective orders, ensuring the safety of domestic violence
victims;
-
Save lives by
promoting widespread use of Automatic Electronic Defibrillators;
-
Repeal the computer
services tax to keep Maryland's hi tech and biotech industries
growing;
-
Reduce automobile
deaths of and injuries to 6- and
7-year-olds by requiring them to use child safety seats.
I hope you will share your ideas on the 2008 Session by
e-mailing me at
jennie.forehand@senate.state.md.us. Please include your name
and address.
