April 2010 Legislative Liaison Report

AB 890 – Sale of Novelty Lighters to Minors

WI State Fire Chiefs Association Members,

The Assembly Consumer Protection Committee had a hearing today (April 13, 2010) on AB 890, which would ban the sale of Novelty Lighters to minors. The committee has not voted on the bill yet and needs a little urging from fire service members to take a vote on AB 890 in support of the ban of novelty lighter sales to minors. If you are a constituent of one of the committee members listed below please contact their office and ask for their support on AB 890. Please look over the list of committee members and determine if you are a constituent of one of them and if you are give their staff a call asking for their support.

I have provided you with the testimony from three organizations, which includes the WI State Fire Chiefs Assoc, the WI Fire & EMS Legislative Leadership Coalition and the WI Fire Safety Alliance for your reference on this issue.

Please contact your constituent legislator if they are a member of the Assembly Consumer Protection Committee listed below.
