The "Baby Sharon Act" passed both the House and Senate without opposition. It now awaits the signature of the Governor and that should happen soon. The Senate amended the bill making Children's Hospital responsible for the fund. A committee of five people will watch over the distribution of money. The Governor will appoint three members and the House and Senate the other two.

This web site should benefit from the new law, because experts will focus on helping families of children with catastrophic illnesses. Families need more than money and that is what this web site is all about. Please take the time to send us your ideas, suggestions, or comments.
