Gavin's Law

AB 582 is named after Gavin Gladding, a Clovis Unified School District Vice Principal who was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident in 2018.

Gavin's Law has gained support from key Democrats! A second hearing for Gavin's Law (AB 582) will be held in January 2020. Let's keep fighting for change! #GavinsLaw #AB582 #GladdingStrong

Call your Assembly Member and ask them to support A.B. 582 and close the loophole that exists in California Vehicle Code 200001. #GavinsLaw #AB582

“There is a perverse #loophole which encourages, actually rewards #drivers to flee the scene of an #accident, not to stay and help. By #fleeing they can purposely avoid additional charges for #hitandrun and driving #undertheinfluence.” — Jim Patterson | https://t.co/eUlQ2HoPrQ

In all my time in the legislature, I have never witnessed what happened today. Gavin's wife changed the hearts and minds of all opposed members in this committee hearing. They were going to vote against @GavinsLaw...until they heard Susan’s story.

Yesterday, Susan Gladding provided convincing testimony that allows the work on A.B. 582 to continue with the members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee. #GavinsLaw #AB582

Today in Sacramento: @GavinsLaw, a bill penned by @JimPatterson559 in honor of slain @clovisusd vice principal Gavin Gladding, was on the ropes in committee.

Then his widow, Susan Gladding, gave her testimony. #caleg #559vote

Last Friday was an amazing tribute to Gavin Gladding and his family.

A special thank you to @JimPatterson559 and his colleague’s, @drarambulaAD31 @AdamGrayCA @FrankBigelowCA for their sponsorship of A.B. 582 “Gavin’s Law." #GavinsLaw #GladdingStrong #Ab582

[Jim Patterson @JimPatterson559]

.@GavinsLaw will be voted on next Tuesday. The Gladding family and I have done all we can. With help from almost 9,000 supporters, our hope is that the members on the Public Safety Committee will hear our pleas and vote to change the hit-and-run culture. https://t.co/eJdUtMF41z
