Rep. Lawrence Quotations

I think the likelihood of it being funded is great. I think when you've got the public awareness that (the Utah State) incident brought forward, that increases the chance of the funding to be there.

I think there were a few of us who voted on the amendment that were confused as to what it actually did and I am thankful for opportunity to rethink our actions.

We have been working with them. They had some great suggestions about ways we could deal with the very few businesses and people that don't seem to want to engage in good business practices. The majority are trying very hard to treat their customers and their consumers fairly, so we don't want to be punitive to those in business that are doing well, but we need to get this information out.

All of you would rather have heard that than individually sitting down here and telling you how much they appreciate this bill.

It seems to me that if they still have to notify the parent, we haven't protected that minor at all.
