Arizona Senate Passes Some, Rejects Others
The Arizona Senate has approved a series of bills ranging from a ban on public campaign money to limits on environmental regulations.
The Senate failed to pass a ban on texting while driving, but approved a bill to require motorists to put children ages 5 through 8 in booster seats.
The Senate overwhelmingly rejected a bill to prohibit smoking in a vehicle with child passengers.
A resolution placing a proposed constitutional amendment on the November 2010 ballot would ban the use of public money for campaign funding. That would dismantle the public campaign funding system approved by voters in 1998.
The Senate approved a bill that would prohibit any state agency from adopting or enforcing rules for a program on greenhouse gas emissions without authorization by the Legislature. This is a reaction by Republican lawmakers to steps taken by former Governor Janet Napolitano.
A bill was approved that would make it harder to successfully sue emergency medical providers for alleged malpractice.
And the Senate approved a bill that could set the stage for construction of toll highways.
Transportation Board Awards Third Set of Contracts
The State Transportation Board has awarded the third set of contracts for federally funded projects to improve Arizona’s highways. This includes a $4.5 million contract for pavement preservation on Highway 60 from the Miami City Limits to McMillan Wash.
The Arizona Department of Transportation says most of the nine projects were well under estimates, producing a cost savings of $2.7 million. The lower-than-expected bids are attributed to the downturn in the economy prompting higher competition for projects.
There are now 25 stimulus-funded projects under contract statewide. Five have already begun construction.

Federal Board Urges Arizona to Require Booster Seats
The National Transportation Safety Board is urging Arizona to take further steps to make sure that children are restrained safely in cars. The Board says that Arizona is one of only three states that don’t require children ages 5 through 8 to use booster seats.
But the Arizona Republic reports that State Senator Linda Gray is pushing a bill that would require all children under 9 to be properly restrained when in a vehicle. Children 5 through 8 would be required to use booster seats.
Booster seats raise a child in a vehicle so that a seat belt fits properly.

Nestle Cookie Dough Recalled
The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat raw Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough. There are concerns that the premade dough may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
Health officials and food producers are puzzled because cookie dough seems like an unlikely product to contain the bacterium, which lives in the intestines of cattle.
Nestle’s cookie dough is packaged with labels warning people not to eat it raw. But it has become such a popular snack that many ice cream makers have developed a cookie dough flavor.
Since March, 66 people have become sick in 28 states after eating raw cookie dough. 25 people have been hospitalized.
The recall does not include already baked Toll House cookies and other products with Nestle cookie dough ingrdients.
