Draft revision received today
Attachments: Vulnerable youth protection act- August 23.pdf

All, attached is an updated version of the bill I received today. The explanation of changes is below.
Let me know what you think - Fred
Rep. Deutsch,
Attached is an updated version. Here are some changes that I made:
• Catchlines were added
• It is specified where the sections will be added to the code
• Removed “child” from the definitions and then just specified “a person age fifteen or younger” on page 1 line 27. Then using “person” throughout for consistency.
• Under our style and form manual “his or her” is not used, so the draft uses “the person’s” instead
• Section 2, subsection 3 was changed per your recommendations
• Page 2, line 17 it says “a person born with [. . .]” The person making the medical decision for someone age 15 or younger would be their parent or guardian.
Let me know if you have any questions. I will be the office tomorrow morning if you need to contact me.
Thanks,
Alex Timperley
