Arizona Rep Kate Brophy McGee Angel's Law



On Monday evening, I appeared with Mark Curtis on Channel 12 News to discuss House Bill 2640, also known as “Angel’s Law,” which I introduced early this session.  The AZ Republic Editorial Board does an excellent job of detailing the bill’s objective.

Arizona kids need an angel; this bill delivers it

Editorial board, The Republic | azcentral.com  March 19, 2015
 
Our View: Angel's Law would require background checks for all before a child is returned home. It's just common sense.

...A bill called "Angel's Law" would require the Department of Child Safety to check the background of all the people living in the household, including boyfriends. Any history of domestic violence or sexual assault would have to be taken into consideration when reunifying a child with his or her biological parents.

______________________________________________________________________________
 

Arizona’s foster children deserve common sense protections when they are being reunified with families with prior safety problems.  This is what Angel’s Law, HB2640, does.

This past week, recently-appointed DCS director Greg McKay instituted Angel’s Law as an administrative directive to protect Arizona’s most vulnerable children.  The legislature must codify the directive in statute, to ensure this critical safety measure becomes the practice going forward regardless of who is in charge.

Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan-Her First Ten Weeks in Office


Many of you have asked what we’ve been up to at the Secretary of State’s office since I was sworn in the first week of January.  Now that my administration is 10 weeks old, I thought you might be interested in some highlights of what we’ve done so far:
 
 
The First 10 Weeks
 
 
 
 
Attested for Governor Ducey's first executive order.
 
Helped draft a definition of “political committee” and found a great sponsor for the bill in Rep. Ugenti.
Our campaign finance laws hinge on this definition and it is essential we get HB2649 passed.
 
Named Western States Board Member of the National Lieutenant Governor’s Association.  Arizona now has a seat at the table!

Did you know the SOS office is responsible for trademarks?  My first trademarks were the Super Bowl logo, Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. 
 
Gave the closing remarks at the Barry M. Goldwater statue installation at Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C.
Truly an honor to induct one of Arizona’s favorite sons!
Began accepting credit cards finally making it easier for businesses and consumers. 
 
The new machines took in over $1000 on the first day.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Signed my first bill into law, the new Civics Bill - and was Acting Governor for a few days, too. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Formed partnership for an SOS mobile phone app that reminds voters of upcoming elections, shows polling locations and tracks specific races (the company developing the app is doing it for free).
 
 
Launched our new website.  Modern, sleeker and more user-friendly.  Check it out at www.azsos.gov.
 
The website is compatible with mobile devices too!
 
HB 2589 advances through Senate committees.  It provides political subdivisions the chance to do campaign finance reporting through the SOS office.  This was part of my campaign platform and enhances transparency in campaign finance.

 
What’s next?  Notary filings will go online, the mobile phone election app will be released, and watch for our soon to be introduced “Follow the Money” program online.
 
Stay tuned!
 
Sincerely,
 
Secretary of State Michele Reagan
