Telfer Backs A Bill That Deals with Stoned Students

Senator Chris Telfer of Bend is pretty confident that she can push through a bill that will help police treat a drugged minor the same way a "drunk" minor is treated. Currently, police can send a drunk student home from school and take other action, but can't do the same thing if a student is stoned; unless they find drugs on the minor. Telfer says she's getting support for making the law the same for both. She says stoned minors are a problem in the high schools; the middle schools and even around town: “And it isn't just schools. Police are unable to do a whole lot about it." If the Bill passes an emergency clause will put it into effect right away.
