Designate Fathers Walk Week
Current Status: In House Committee (Children and Human Services)
Summary
The bill designates the third week of September as 'Fathers Walk Week' to encourage fathers to walk their children to school.
Rationale
The bill promotes a government-sanctioned observance which may be seen as an unnecessary government involvement in family activities, conflicting with the principles of limited government and personal responsibility emphasized by both the LP and LPO.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government involvement in personal family matters
- May set a precedent for further government designations and mandates
