Jim Wolf - Interviewee, Rhonda Miller - Interviewee
A discussion with two teens about the proposed Age of Majority bill for 18-year olds. Would give them right to contract, own property, marry, make wills, and enter professions now limited to 21-year olds. Teens think 18-year olds are ready for the responsibilities. Discuss major objection to bill of teen drinking. Would lose juvenile status in courts. College policies towards students would change, no longer in loco parentis. Teens could run for state legislature and deal with laws that affect them like parental notification for birth control. Rhonda Miller, Murray High School student, Jim Wolf, Johnson High School student.
