Bills head to Governor's desk

Two bills of note on their way to the Governor's desk today … tougher penalties on unlicensed drivers and people who participate in dog fighting. Today the Senate approved a measure to prosecute a person caught four times in five years driving without a license as a felon. The Senate also gave unanimous final passage to making it a felony to engage in dogfighting. It would also be a crime to attend a dog fight or breed dogs for fighting.
