THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW vs

21ST DISTRICT ASSEMBLYMEMBER JOE SIMITIAN HAS KICKED OFF HIS ANNUAL CONTEST CALLED "THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW." HE SAYS HE'S HAD 3 STRAIGHT YEARS OF SUCCESS WITH PROPOSALS BECOMING LAW, AND HE HOPES THIS 4TH YEAR OF THE CONTEST WILL ALSO BRING GOOD LUCK IN BOTH THE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF ENTRIES. THIS YEAR THE GOVERNOR SIGNED A CONTEST ENTRY INTO LAW THAT WILL REQUIRE HEADLIGHTS TO BE ON WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ON, WHICH WILL TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1ST. BUT DRIVERS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THIS LAW UNTIL JULY 1ST OF 2005. THAT SAME APPROACH HAS BEEN TAKEN IN 14 OTHER STATES AROUND THE COUNTRY.
