Legislators hold constituent update in Bayonne

BAYONNE – South Hudson state legislators held a community meeting last week at Bayonne City Hall to update area constituents about recently passed and pending legislation.
About 30 people braved a driving rain to hear State Sen. Sandra Cunningham, Assemblyman Jason O’Donnell, and Assemblyman Charlie Mainor talk about several topics.
The contingent discussed alimony reform and “Ban the Box” and expungement measures, written to given individuals second chances after having made mistakes in life.
Sen. Cunningham also addressed the bail reform referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot, and Assemblyman O’Donnell detailed his “Pulse Ox” bill, which mandates a hospital test which can be a life-saving measure for newborns.
