NYC Badge Update?

It's been several months...does anyone in NYC have any info regarding the badge controversey? Is the DA's office still pursuing the prosecution? More importantly, any word on the bill passing the NYS assembly?

I have not heard anything in a while about the badge issue. I did write a letter to my local State Senator about this issue.

What bill are your refering to that is in the Assembly?

I have not heard anything either. The bill was A10287, it was in the Assembly last year, however, as I did not remember the number offhand, I checked the NYS Assembly website, and it is now nowhere to be found. The bill was basically adding provisions to allow the DOH to create and issue badges for EMT's and medics to carry. I guess it didnt pass, which really sucks. I guess some more letter writing and phone calls are in order.
