SB 1889

Abstract

Amends the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act. Requires the Department of Human Services to design and implement an ongoing statewide campaign to raise public awareness about fetal alcohol syndrome and other effects of prenatal alcohol exposure. Provides that the campaign must include pamphlets that describe the causes and effects of fetal alcohol syndrome and provides that the Department must distribute the pamphlets free of charge to each county clerk in sufficient quantities to enable the county clerk to provide pamphlets to all persons applying for a marriage license in the county. (Under current law, the Department may prepare such pamphlets and may distribute them to county clerks.)
