I will plan to ride down separately so that you can both go to Hamptons afterwards. Love you.

I told Josh I would be there too. My plan was to go to the hamptons this week though. I will shoot to ​go to Buccini's probably after this. Hunt - that may work for you too if you still plan to come for a few days?

Hi Ashley,
Did you by any chance get the email I sent to you (below)?  I was hoping to touch base with you on the bill signing.
The Governor’s office has scheduled it for August 11 at 9:00.
I’m hoping that works for you – I have to send notice out to a number of other people including co-sponsors, etc. so I’ll hold off a couple of more hours just in case it doesn’t work for you and there is still time to adjust.
Thank you Ashley.

I am thrilled that this legislation passed! Thank you, Senator Peterson for sponsoring. I would love to attend the signing and I am sure my sister-in-law and niece & nephew would also like to attend. Just let me know date and time.

Thank you!

Good afternoon Ashley,
Hope all is well with you –
Ashley, you might have already been made aware that Senator Peterson sponsored a bill – SB 144 - which addresses inconsistencies as to the type of background checks required for individuals who work or volunteer for a child-serving entity.  The bill will be known as the “Beau Biden Child Protection Act.”  Here is the synopsis:

The Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III Child Protection Act is the result of the work of the Delaware Background Checks Task Force, which was established by Executive Order 42. This legislation will consolidate into one chapter and section of the code the background checks that must be completed for individuals who seek to work or volunteer for a child-serving entity. The legislation will address inconsistencies as to what types of background checks those individuals who seek to work or volunteer for a child-serving entity must have and the types of criminal convictions and/or what level of entrance on the Child Protection Registry will prohibit an individual from working or volunteering with such an entity. Finally, this legislation includes individuals who seek to work with a private school or youth camp, who previous to this legislation, were not required to have background checks on staff or volunteers.

Senator Peterson has requested a bill-signing ceremony in the Governor’s office in Wilmington so we are waiting for several dates and times.  Attendees will include DSCYF staff and Patricia Dailey Lewis with the AG’s office who attended hearings in Dover in order to respond to questions as expert witnesses.  I believe Patty was in touch with Hunter on this.

The reason we are writing to you is to extend an invitation to you and any family member who would like to attend.  We know that this is a difficult time for the family, but Beau and you shared a passion for equal justice and the protection of children; thus, we wanted to be sure you were given an opportunity to participate.
Thank you Ashley.
