I hope some of you have written the letters of support to Mr. Pescetti's office and to your local Assembly Members and Senators to support. Also, as I write this email, I do not have the Human Services Committee names and addresses. But any support letter you send to Assembly Member Anthony Pescetti, will get to the committee group. So please, please write those support letters. Also, those of you who can get away and come to the State Capitol on April 17th for the hearing, please come and be heard or seen.
Large numbers are very impressive as well as the letters and phone calls.

This bill would require DSS to remove from it s public files any inconclusive complaints filed against child day care facilities and residential facilities serving children.
