Other Laws

Utah Rep. Pete Suazo sponsored the bill H.B. 69 "Purchse of Insurance Proceeds" successfully in 1994. The law helps terminally ill Utahns, including those with HIV/AIDS, by allowing them to sell their life insurance before they died to pay for end-of-life care and other needs.

Famous quotes containing the word laws:

    “Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “It is dangerous to tell the people that the laws are unjust; for they obey them only because they think them just. Therefore it is necessary to tell them at the same time that they must obey them because they are laws, just as they must obey superiors, not because they are just, but because they are superiors. In this way all sedition is prevented.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
