This new law offers a perfect solution, fortifying the state’s health care industry that has been hard-hit by the exodus of crucial workers since the pandemic while providing an attractive career path for qualified veterans.”

“When you answer a telemarketer’s call, you should know right up front who they are and who they work for,” said Bramnick (R-21). “If they’re on the up and up, telemarketing firms should have no issue with this bill. It’s the people who want to scam you who are afraid to identify themselves in a way that’s verifiable by the consumer.”

“The press investigation confirms what we’re hearing from constituents that nobody is answering the phone at state agencies,” said Bramnick (R-21). “If you’re having trouble with unemployment or getting a driver’s license, it’s a huge problem that you can’t call and talk to somebody. It’s more proof that the Legislature needs to pass our bill to create a Consumer Czar to call government entities at the State, county, and local levels to determine who’s reachable. It’ll be harder for these agencies to say everything is great when we have monthly reports showing that people can’t get through.”

This legislation ensures that our high school students learn how to effectively manage the physical, emotional, and behavioral impacts of grief.”

“It’s shockingly easy to stalk someone and invade their privacy with cheap tracking devices and cell phone apps,” said Bramnick (R-21). “We’re saying it shouldn’t be legal to track someone without their consent. Our bill would protect people, including women, who are being tracked without their knowledge by jealous spouses, exes, stalkers, and criminals who want to harass them or do them harm.”

“It’s ridiculous that many people who are being stalked can’t get a restraining order without filing criminal charges when they are being threatened or intimidated,” said Bramnick (R-21). “In too many instances, the police are unable to do anything when extremely dangerous behavior is reported. This legislation makes it easier for more victims to get protective restraining orders before frightening conduct escalates to actual harm.”
