A grieving mother who lost her two teenage daughters in a texting and driving car accident is asking lawmakers to create stricter laws against using a cell phone while behind the wheel. Jenny Perez, lost her daughters 16-year-old Selena and 13-year-old Bella in a crash last November on County Home and North Troy Roads in Linn County when a man was texting and driving and rear ended a car that was waiting to turn. Not only is the girls' mother speaking out but also their friends from Linn-Mar High School. The group, along with others from across the state, begging lawmakers to take action to prevent a similar situation from happening to others. Iowa State Patrol Trooper Bob Conrad said it is frustrating that the state's laws don't allow them to pull people over for texting while driving. Currently, in Iowa, there is no ban on hand-held devices and texting is a secondary offense; meaning that can't be the primary reason an officer pulls you over. The mother is hoping to encourage 15 other states on this ban as well. http://www.kwwl.com/story/34517347/2017/02/15/family-friends-ask-iowa-to-ban-texting-and-driving

A grieving mother who lost her two teenage daughters in a texting and driving car accident is asking lawmakers to create stricter laws against using a cell phone while behind the wheel. Jenny Perez, lost her daughters 16-year-old Selena and 13-year-old Bella in a crash last November on County Home and North Troy Roads in Linn County when a man was texting and driving and rear ended a car that was waiting to turn. Not only is the girls' mother speaking out but also their friends from Linn-Mar High School. The group, along with others from across the state, begging lawmakers to take action to prevent a similar situation from happening to others.
ReplyDeleteIowa State Patrol Trooper Bob Conrad said it is frustrating that the state's laws don't allow them to pull people over for texting while driving. Currently, in Iowa, there is no ban on hand-held devices and texting is a secondary offense; meaning that can't be the primary reason an officer pulls you over. The mother is hoping to encourage 15 other states on this ban as well.

Thousands of Iowans between the ages of 7 and 23 will need to exchange their birth certificates for a more detailed one. The small certificates they have now don't have enough information, such as the names of the birth parents. These certificates were issued between May 1993 and October 2009. About 630,000 people were born during that time. To swap out your certificate, the old version needs to be mailed to the Bureau of Health Statistics in Des Moines. The Department of Public Health says the change could also help people from becoming victims of identity theft.
