Cancer Cluster Bill 380 Becomes Law for Maryland Residents!!! 

Victory for Maryland Residents! Governor O'Malley signs Cancer Cluster bill into law.  Senator C Anthony Muse has been working extremely hard again this legislative session to get this bill passed and with the help of  Juice 4 Life Board Member Brandi Calhoun along his side in Annapolis day in and day out  , they were able to get it done! This bill will require a work group to be put in place and the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene will have to report any findings of cancer clusters and environmental causes of cancer.  May 2nd was the bill signing and along side Governor O'Malley stood Senator C. Anthony Muse and other representatives from Juice 4 Life, The Kristen Renee Foundation & The Cancer Support Foundation. This was such a joyful day for all of us! Maryland is the first state to have this law and Juice 4 Life plans to work with other elective officials to help establish this law nationwide.

As you may know, the Cancer Cluster Workgroup legislation that our board member Senator C. Anthony Muse sponsored during the 2011 and 2012 General Assembly session passed during the recent session. We have had three workgroup meetings and there will be another one on Monday, October 21st at 9:00am. The meetings are open to the public and I encourage your input. If you would like to attend or give feedback, please contact us at 240-232-5858
