Anderson Backs 19 Drinking Age Change In Mitchellville
Rep. Robert Anderson reports support for raising the drinking age to 19. He described public meetings and legislative actions, including a bill to permit certain substitutions of bioequivalent drugs, a ban on jailing juveniles for minor traffic offenses, licensing real estate apprentice salesmen, and creation of an Interagency Coordinating Council on Radiation Safety. He opposed a workmen’s compensation bill and urged hearings on agency rule making. He cited teen drinking as a social issue affecting schools and a proposed amendment for those turning 18 by July 1, 1976. The next meeting is March 9 in Carlisle Elementary Library.

Heavy Committee Schedules Dominate House Action
Rep. Bill Dieleman reports heavy committee schedules in the Town House as deadlines loom for Feb 27. A jacked up cars bill failed 40 to 48 after Senate changes and House refinements limited coverage to autos. House eyes March home days, morning floor debates start March 2, with Friday sessions when not meeting Monday. The Transportation Committee rejected a DUI penalties bill 5 to 6. State Government bills advance, including barber licensing, standardizing county computer systems, and creating a legislative performance audit bureau with subpoena power. Nurses practice act revision gains co-sponsorship, while other floor measures include abolishing the state medical examiner and tightening fertilizer nutrient rules.
