HB 214-BREE'S LAW; DATING VIOLENCE PROGRAMS
CHAIR STEVENS announced the consideration of HB 214.
PATRICK FITZGERALD, Staff, Representative Harriet Drummond,
Alaska State Legislature, presented HB 214 on behalf of the
sponsor.
8:00:49 AM
CHAIR STEVENS noted a recent letter in support of HB 214 from
Dr. Michael Johnson, Commissioner of the Department of Education
and Early Development (DEED).
8:01:18 AM
CHAIR STEVENS opened public testimony.
8:01:26 AM
MARTIN STEPETIH, Representing Self, supported HB 214. He said
all states are starting to put laws into place about dating
violence. Young people need to be educated. A law that wouldn't
otherwise be known is when associated with a name and a face.
People remember better when there is a face and a story. Brie's
Law goes along with AMBER alerts and Erin's Law.
8:03:32 AM
PATTY OWEN, Representing Self, supported HB 214. She said she is
a health educator who worked with the the Alaska Safe Children's
Act Task Force. Brie's Law came into being as Brie's Law and
still is known as Brie's Law informally. To make it formal
honors her memory and parents' work. Brie's Law has that name
recognition that all can relate to.
8:04:50 AM
CHAIR STEVENS closed public testimony.
8:05:08 AM
SENATOR HUGHES said people, especially young people, probably
perceive laws as dry and technical. It's more real tied to a
lesson demonstrated through a story, a tragedy, a lovely
person's life.
8:05:50 AM
SENATOR COGHILL joined the meeting.
8:05:56 AM
