California Take Action! AB 2071 will award grants to qualifying law enforcement agencies, so that they have the tools necessary to inform the public about the dangers of distracted driving. Please email your letter of support to the Chairperson of the Committee on Appropriations, Chair Friedman to: approps.committee@assembly.ca.gov. Keep it short and simple. Here is a sample:
Dear Chair Friedman:
I/we/organization is/am writing to express support for AB 2071 (Patterson), which will allow the Office of Traffic Safety to administer a grant program to combat distracted driving.
Thousands of lives are taken each year due to distracted driving and that one quick action on an individual’s phone risks not only their life, but those around them on the road who may be driving safely. AB 2071 will award grants to qualifying law enforcement agencies, so that they have the tools necessary to inform the public about the dangers of distracted driving.
Please support AB2071! Thank you.
Your name and your organization if you are representing one.
