Two Laws Honoring Jane Lawton

Sen. Rich Madaleno reports on two laws passed in memory of Del. Jane Lawton:

This session was also the first without my friend and colleague Jane Lawton, whose untimely death in November was a shock to us all. Working with Ana, Jeff and Al, we were able to pass two bills to carry on Jane's work at protecting our environment. In fact two new programs will be named in her honor. The Jane E. Lawton Loan Program will provide eligible homeowners with access to low interest loans to improve the energy efficiency of their homes through the installation of new windows, insulation, and heating equipment. The Jane Lawton Farm-to-School Program will provide public schools with the ability to buy local produce for school meals. Jane had been working on this program when she passed away. These two programs will be a fitting memorial to her and help ensure that her efforts to improve our community continue.
