Day 2: Roundup

A total of 173 bills competed in the second qualifying round of Speed Week.

Among the 23 that passed a third reading in either the House or the Senate yesterday:

Mega Millions High: A House bill would ban the lottery from advertising at high school sporting events. Not that they were, but a college ban died.

HPV FYI: A Senate bill would require schools tell parents that a vaccine can help prevent human papillomavirus, which causes cervical cancer.

Smoked out: A Senate bill would add blunts, a type of cigar often used to smoke marijuana, to the list of prohibited drug paraphernalia.

In other news, a Senate bill would allow terriers to compete in digging contests known as "earthdog trials," two House bills would let teachers receive their pension even if they're elected to the school board or go back to work and a House bill would let Morrisville regulate golf carts driven on town roads.
