      A bittersweet moment for me, as I announce the inclusion of a bill that means so much to NYers – Avonte’s Law— will finally receive a final passage vote by the House and Senate this week.

      I first introduced the bill in 2014, to honor Avonte Oquendo, a non-verbal boy with #autism, who bolted from his school in Queens. It felt like our whole city was looking for him, and we all mourned with his family when his body was found.

      As a result, I learned that bolting, elopement, & wandering are part of the everyday worries of caregivers & parents, and got to work looking for a way to provide voluntary GPS tracking devices to children or adults w/ developmental disorders, like Autism Spectrum Disorder.

      Just this month, we were again reminded of how critical Avonte's Law is after the heartbreaking disappearance of 14-year-old Trevyan Rowe in Rochester.

          Thanks to the work of Senator @klobucharoffice, “Kevin and Avonte’s Law” will become a reality & we’ll take a vital first step to ensuring lifesaving technology is available all across New York and the country.

          As mother to one of the special needs NY kids this bill is created to help (she's a high-functioning autistic who did go nonverbal and bolt when she was younger), thank you, Senator!
