She has passed laws to protect individuals from on-line ticket scams, raised awareness and the purchase age for harmful powdered caffeine, passed "Ann Marie's" law to assist schools to help prevent child suicide, protected seniors and individuals with disabilities by maintaining the DONs score, strengthened the the DCFS Advisory Council to protect children, worked to provide a "Disability Awareness Card" to help those with disabilities interact with first responders, supported the new education funding formula, and passed ground breaking legislation to lower and, hopefully, end Veteran suicide.
