The purpose for criminal remedies is not to throw people in jail, as this will likely never happen. The purpose is to give law enforcement the authority to intervene and to issue an order to appear should the offender be unwilling to comply. Thirty-five states currently have such provisions. If we need to have a discussion of this issue, please let me know and I will facilitate this discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Fraternally yours,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Marion Gwizdala, President<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>National Association of Guide Dog Users Inc.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>National Federation of the Blind<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(813) 626-2789<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>(888) 624-3841 (Hotline)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:President@nagdu.org"><span style='color:blue'>President@nagdu.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.nagdu.org"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.nagdu.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'>High expectations create unlimited potential for the blind!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Njagdu [mailto:njagdu-bounces@nfbnet.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ginger Kutsch via Njagdu<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, April 10, 2015 3:47 PM<br><b>To:</b> New Jersey Association of Guide Dog Users<br><b>Subject:</b> [Njagdu] New bill in NJ State legislature<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>FYI.
