Bill Vetoed
http://radio.ksl.com/index.php?sid=157654&nid=19
Huntsman Vetoes Ritalin Bill The Governor vetoed the ritalin bill yesterday. The legislation would have prevented teachers from recommending psychiatric care about kids to their parents. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Gov. Jon Huntsman vetoed the so-called Ritalin bill -- a measure that would have forbidden teachers from advising parents to seek professional counseling or medication for troubled or disruptive children. ----------------- Banning suggesting counseling was what killed this bill.

Well, really - the teachers shouldn't be making any suggestions regarding a specific diagnosis or treatment. They should express concerns about the child's behavior or progress and suggest an evaluation. -- 00doc

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Gov. Jon Huntsman vetoed the so-called Ritalin
bill -- What a complete nutter. Anyone who's not a complete and total weirdo would have signed the bill. Not surprisingly, he's a Rethuglican.

However, these bills have such a chilling effect that teachers and counselors may decide to keep quiet at times when something is serious. Imagine a teacher being intimidated by such legislation into not reporting that a student is having problems, and then that student picks up the family rifle and repeats what happened this week.
