Law & Order
Seeing as today's the last day of September, there's two new laws that have been on the mind of college students of late, as they both take effect October 1 and have a direct effect on the lives of everyone living in the state, whether temporarily or permanently.
The first is pretty straightforward: Connecticut's new headset law kicks in Saturday (link), requiring those who are going to use a cell phone in their car to wear a headset while doing so. Many local college-goers from out of state may be familiar with this, as New York, among other states, have pushed headset laws in recent years. However, Connecticut's law takes it a step further, making anything that causes distracting driving illegal. While hitting a button on your radio might not count, playing with your iPod would, as would lighting a cigarette or chomping on a Big Mac.
The second law will likely leave more murky waters for some: tomorrow the new civil unions law for Connecticut, which was the first state to set up such a widespread acknowledgement of same-sex couples without being forced to by the judicial branch, will also take effect (link). Southern News's story raises the point that while civil unions do provide same-sex couples with a vast array of rights previously unavailable to them, there's still dissatisfaction on both sides of the argument about where the state stands on the issue. Some think there should be full marriage rights, while some think that civil unions shouldn't be allowed. It's an issue that likely will ride on the minds of many during the next couple of years.
