Monthly Update
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence Day holiday! While we may not have been able to celebrate as we normally do, it was still a nice reprieve from all that is going on in the world and a chance to reflect on what brings us together as fellow Americans. We are making progress and will make it through!
As we continue the slow march of reopening, we must remain vigilante against COVID-19. Our businesses need to reopen to survive, but we must maintain our distance and continue to wear face coverings. As cases rise elsewhere in the country, this will allow us to continue moving forward rather than taking a step back.
We continue to be stonewalled on answers to questions about the coronavirus response, particularly concerning our most vulnerable individuals living in congregate settings.

Legislative Update
We all know that the MVC is a disaster. Long lines, confusing policies, just an all around poorly run agency. When people have to camp out the night before for services, the time is now to get things done. I won’t listen to a single excuse. That is why I have released a package of bills aimed at cutting down on the inefficient bureaucracy.
A4306– Grants driving privileges to certain individuals without road test during COVID-19 public health emergency and state of emergency.
A4326– Permits certain drivers’ schools to conduct road tests.
A4327– Permits licensed motor vehicle dealers to facilitate issuance of titles and registrations for used motor vehicles purchased by private sale.
A4333– Requires MVC to review certain services and provide certain services online
