Assemblyman Matt Simpson expressed his support for the Alexander John Smullen Traffic Safety Memorial Law. The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Robert Smullen, seeks to establish a memorial sign program for victims of fatal vehicle collisions. This initiative is named in memory of Smullen’s son, Alexander John “AJ” Smullen, who died in March 2024 after being hit by a vehicle.
“This was a life changing tragedy for my friend Assemblyman Rober Smullen and his family," Simpson stated. "The Alexander John Smullen Traffic Safety Memorial Law will honor the lives lost in fatal vehicle collisions and also serve as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of impaired and reckless driving. Families deserve the opportunity to memorialize their loved ones, and this legislation means that their legacies will help make our roads safer for all.”
The proposed law aims not only to commemorate those who have died but also to highlight the dangers associated with irresponsible driving behavior.
