Kudos to Senator Ron Brown

As a former Police Chief and former Chair of the Board of Directors for our local Sexual Assault and Domestic Abuse Agency, I have long been in favor of updating the mandatory arrest law as there are a number of unintended consequences with how the law was initially written. I, myself, tried several years ago to get legislators to make some changes, but ran into a brick wall even mentioning that I thought some things needed to be tweaked.

Sen. Ron Brown and several others worked in a bi-partisan fashion on AB-436 which was passed and signed into law! Ron, I am sure that victims and law enforcement all over the state must be thanking you for again putting partisanship aside and working with all concerned on this important new law.
