I have some good news! Today we presented HB 82: Protection of Children While Riding in Motor Vehicles to the House Law Enforcement Standind Committee and it passed 5-2! I'd like to offer a special thank you to Sheriff Steve Chapman, Liz Zentner of the PTA and  Hannah for testifying in favor of this bill and also to the committee members who voted to pass this bill. Thanks to all of you who emailed Representatives and worked to get support for this bill, but the buck doesn't stop here. HB 82 will be moving on to the floor of the House of Representatives for debate and voting. Please, work on communicating with representatives on both sides of the aisle to gain support for this bill. Let them know how important protecting children from second hand smoke is to you!
 

Message from Jay

Jay SeegmillerThank you for visiting my web site! 

We've just started the 2010 Legislative Session and am working hard to pass legislation that is in the best interest of the people of Utah.  Please explore this website and the links so I can keep you informed  on what I'm doing for the people of Utah this session.

My utmost priorities are education, access to healthcare, economic development, quality of life, and tax relief. I am committed to work for the constituents of my district and help them resolve any issues they may have with state and government agencies. I will not waste taxpayer money.

We live in the most beautiful and diverse state in the United States. Sharing our state with the world is our lifeblood; we need to maximize and protect our vital resource: tourism. Education is critical to the future of our children and our state’s economy. We need to do more than set standards of accountability, we need to give teachers the resources to meet those standards. We need to make sure that teachers and professors are paid competitively to ensure that we keep the best. We need to encourage the development of high-tech and bio-tech business in Utah. We need to make taxes fair for all and we need to stop wasting taxpayers’ money on useless resolutions and laws that will waste millions of dollars and spend years in the courts. As a House Representative, I will do everything I can to make these things happen.

Greetings!

Just an update on some of the bills I have coming up:

HB 82: Protection of Children While Riding in Motor Vehicles:

This very special bill, if passed, would prohibit people from smoking in vehicles with children eight years old or younger.  There is no debate that second-hand smoke has negative health consequences, especially for children whose bodies and lungs are still developing. Smoking in a car, unlike smoking in a house where the smoker can go outside or to another room, creates an environment of concentrated second hand smoke much like that of a crowded bar. Children who have been exposed to second-hand smoke suffer from an increased risk of respiratory ailments aswell as infant death syndrome. My bill is designed with the best interest of the children's health in mind.  If you agree with me, please contact me and see how you can help get this bill passed.

If you'd like to, read the bill yourself and let me know what you think!
