Sen. Nathan Manning

Maddy summaryThis bill expands the role of licensed pharmacists by allowing them to dispense medications remotely and administer specific long-acting injections, such as those for addiction treatment, HIV, and mental health conditions. To qualify for these expanded duties, pharmacists must complete specialized training, maintain current basic life-support certification, and operate under strict protocols established by a physician. The legislation also outlines clear procedures for obtaining patient consent, ordering and evaluating necessary drug tests, and monitoring patients for adverse reactions after administration.

Maddy summarySB 233 amends state law to require drivers of vehicles and trackless trolleys to stop within fifty feet of a railroad crossing whenever specific safety conditions are present, such as active warning signals, lowered gates, flagperson signals, insufficient space on the other side, visible or audible approaching equipment, or low vehicle clearance. The bill mandates that these operators must not proceed through a crossing while any of these hazards exist and prohibits driving through closed gates unless directed by law enforcement or a flagperson. It establishes penalties for violations, including a fourth-degree misdemeanor, but allows courts to substitute fines or jail time with mandatory rail safety training. Additionally, the law requires buses, school vehicles, and slow-moving equipment to stop, listen, and look before crossing tracks, while also creating a process for the public utilities commission to designate specific crossings as exempt from these stop requirements after a public hearing.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates the month of March as "Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Month" to highlight this specific type of breast cancer. The primary effect is to officially recognize the month for public awareness campaigns and educational efforts related to the disease. It does not change laws, allocate funding, or mandate specific actions for government agencies or individuals. The legislation serves as a symbolic designation rather than a policy with enforceable requirements.

Maddy summaryThis bill strengthens the state's Sex Offender Registration and Notification (SORN) law by adding new offenses related to sexual conduct and clarifying rules for when offenders must register. It specifically defines a "sexually oriented offense" to include various crimes involving minors, sexual motivation, or age gaps between offenders and victims, ensuring these acts are treated as serious violations. Additionally, the legislation updates the SORN system to pause the registration clock if an offender fails to comply with their duties and requires correctional facilities to notify local sheriffs when transferring offenders who must register. The bill also expands protections for victims by establishing clearer guidelines for appointing victim representatives and ensuring that notices and rights are shared with both the victim and their designated representative.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the state to issue identification cards to inmates in correctional facilities and juvenile detention centers upon their release. The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and the Department of Youth Services will submit applications on behalf of these individuals to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, ensuring they receive documentation of their work experience, education, and trade skills. The legislation mandates that these cards include specific personal details and allows for the inclusion of information regarding anatomical gift wishes, veteran status, and medical directives. By streamlining the application process for incarcerated individuals, the bill aims to facilitate their reintegration into society by providing necessary identification and educational records.

Maddy summarySB 37 amends laws governing driver's license suspensions and penalties for failing to provide proof of financial responsibility. The bill allows municipal, mayor's, and county courts to order community service or installment payments for individuals who cannot afford to pay fines or costs associated with a conviction. If a person fails to appear in court or does not pay the imposed fines, the court can notify the motor vehicle registrar, who will then block the registration or transfer of any vehicle owned or leased by that person until the debt is cleared. The legislation also establishes standardized forms for reporting payment failures and allows the registrar to require electronic submission of these notices.
