Call this ‘common sense act’ of 2016

Rep. Julie VanOrden of Pingree, vice chair of the House Education Committee, likes to make her rounds after a legislative session to get a first-hand look at how schools are dealing with the laws she sponsors. This year, she hopes to be a part of the Department of Education’s traveling statewide road show. One bill she hopes to discuss is SB 1330, which requires school districts to establish policies on diabetes self-management in the classrooms. The measure, promoted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), was approved unanimously by the Senate Education Committee last week and could come up for a floor vote this week. To be blunt, there should not be the need for a new law to implement common sense/ Chuck Malloy , Idaho Politics Weekly. More here.
