Happy New Laws
With each new year comes plenty of new laws to help us live better lives.
This story mentions a few for 2003, like Tennessee's master prescription database aimed at identifying patterns of drug abuse, Connecticut's ban on mercury thermometers, and New Hampshire's requirement that insurers cover certain eating disorders.
In California, everybody under 18 will have to wear a helmet when skateboarding and rollerblading, and Maine kids must now ride in car booster seats until they are eight years old.
Other examples?
