Cherokee County Commission Considers New E-Bike and E-Scooter Regulations

Cherokee County Commission Considers New E-Bike and E-Scooter Regulations

The Cherokee County Board of County Commissioners in Georgia is exploring the implementation of new regulations for e-bikes and e-scooters across the county. Currently, there is no county-wide ordinance specifically addressing these microtransit vehicles. The existing county code primarily covers gasoline-powered devices and carts, leaving a regulatory gap for electric micromobility. The proposed Article IV aims to fill this gap by defining each device, specifying permissible usage areas (streets, paved shared-use paths, sidewalks, and trails), establishing basic safety and operating rules, requiring signage, and outlining a clear, progressive penalty structure. The primary motivation behind these proposed changes is public safety and providing law enforcement officers with clear, enforceable standards for these devices. The county is in the process of seeking approval to schedule public hearings on these new rules.

Texas Supreme Court to Review Highland Park ISD's Withholding of Tennis Center Report

Texas Supreme Court to Review Highland Park ISD's Withholding of Tennis Center Report

The Texas Supreme Court has agreed to hear a public-records dispute involving the Highland Park Independent School District (HPISD) and its refusal to release an accounting firm's report concerning the Seay Tennis Center. The center, located on the Highland Park High School campus, serves school teams, physical education classes, junior programs, and adult players. The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) requested the report under the Texas Public Information Act in August 2022. HPISD had hired outside counsel in 2019 to investigate allegations regarding employees' handling of the center's financial operations. This law firm, in turn, hired accounting firm Whitley-Penn to assist, and Whitley-Penn's report was sent to attorney Bryan Neal to advise the district. The Texas Attorney General's Office concluded that attorney-client privilege covered the entire report, a stance upheld by a Dallas County trial court and the Fifth Court of Appeals.

Federal Judge Blocks NYC Law Requiring 'Just Cause' for Rideshare Driver Deactivations

Federal Judge Blocks NYC Law Requiring 'Just Cause' for Rideshare Driver Deactivations

A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking a New York City law that would have required Uber and Lyft to demonstrate 'just cause' or 'bona fide economic reasons' before deactivating drivers from their platforms. The law, which was set to apply only to 'high-volume for-hire vehicle services' like Uber and Lyft, also mandated a 14-day notice period before deactivation. Uber sued, arguing the law violated the Contracts Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Judge Gregory Woods of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found that NYC failed to demonstrate a legitimate and broad public purpose for the law, noting it was primarily designed to assist a small subset of drivers. The ruling also highlighted concerns that the 14-day notice requirement could force rideshare companies to keep potentially dangerous drivers on the road for two weeks, as the 'egregious conduct' exception was narrowly defined as 'imminent danger to other persons.'

U.S. District Court Upholds Hawaii's Age-21 Gun Purchase Law, Citing Historical Precedent

U.S. District Court Upholds Hawaii's Age-21 Gun Purchase Law, Citing Historical Precedent

U.S. District Court Judge Jill Otake has upheld a Hawaii state law requiring individuals to be at least 21 years old to purchase firearms. The ruling came in response to a challenge filed by Juda Roache, who is between 18 and 21 and sought to purchase firearms, along with federally licensed firearms dealers Aloha Strategics (doing business as Danger Close Tactical) and JGB Arms, and the Second Amendment Foundation. Judge Otake's 43-page opinion delved into historical common law and societal norms dating back to the nation's founding. The court found substantial evidence from the Founding era indicating that society restricted the ability of individuals under 21 from acquiring goods, including firearms, due to concerns about their judgment and maturity. The ruling also noted that as society industrialized in the 19th century and firearms became more lethal, states began restricting gun acquisition by those under 21, with such laws largely going unchallenged.

Daviess County Detention Center to Establish Peer-Support Team with State Grant

Daviess County Detention Center to Establish Peer-Support Team with State Grant

The Daviess County Detention Center in Kentucky is set to establish a peer-support team for its deputy jailers, utilizing a new state grant. Jailer Art Maglinger announced that the facility is one of eight Kentucky agencies selected for the attorney general’s Stand by the Badge grants, which provide up to $5,000 for developing or expanding peer-support teams. Maglinger emphasized the importance of empathy among colleagues who have shared similar experiences in law enforcement. He noted that the detention center currently lacks an official peer-support team. Maglinger, who has 23 years in law enforcement and is in his 10th year as jailer, served on the attorney general’s working group on mental health last year, where he was the only jailer among police chiefs and sheriffs. The attorney general has prioritized first-responder mental health based on input from agencies with existing peer-support programs and mental health professionals. The initiative aims to provide crucial mental health support within law ...

Fox Business Anchor Jackie DeAngelis Sues Whole Foods Following Dog Attack in Manhattan Store

Fox Business Anchor Jackie DeAngelis Sues Whole Foods Following Dog Attack in Manhattan Store

Fox Business anchor Jackie DeAngelis has filed a lawsuit against Whole Foods, alleging she was attacked by a dog inside a Manhattan store in September 2023. DeAngelis, co-host of “The Big Money Show,” claims she was bitten on her left hand by a black pit bull at the Whole Foods located at 10 Columbus Circle. According to the lawsuit filed on August 20 in Manhattan Supreme Court, the dog was not a service animal and should not have been permitted inside the store, violating Whole Foods' own policy that prohibits regular pets while allowing service animals in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Police reports indicate that the dog and its owner fled the scene before officers arrived. DeAngelis underwent hand surgery and states she has been left “permanently disfigured,” experiencing limited mobility and an inability to perform certain tasks. She is seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress and medical expenses, arguing that Whole Foods failed to enforce its policies and prevent the ...
