Not if Assembly Number 3726 becomes the law of New Jersey
The NJ legislature has a bit of housekeeping on its agenda in 2013. A Bill sponsored by Assemblyman Peter J. Barnes, III (District 18 Middlesex) and Assemblyman Troy Singleton (District 7 Burlington) was introduced in the N.J. State Assembly on January 28, 2013 that seeks to repeal anachronistic, superseded, or invalidated sections of statutory law.
In particular, the bill would repeal the provisions of law associated with the following topics and issues:
- Records, rerecords, entries or abstracts of mortgages, and certified transcripts of these instruments as evidence;
- Permitting a stallion to run at large;

- Rams trespassing or going at large during a specific period each year;
- Pursuers of thieves may be appointed by private detective association;
- Public drinking cups and infectious disease concerns;
- Transportation of infected persons and items by common carriers;
- Occupations forbidden to persons infected with venereal disease;
- Permit to move persons with venereal disease from one jurisdiction to another;

Commentary
I’m going to check on my ram to make sure he understands the consequences of misbehaving…How ’bout you?
“Separation of debtors and criminals in prison” ? I thought there were debtor prisons in the United States, that is unless you are an alimony payer in NJ who is unble to meet your obligation.
Dear oranopas,
Good afternoon.
Thanks for sharing your comment…I am sorry to say, debtors still risk incarceration. And now, with the prospective elimination of a law mandating separation of debtors and real live honest to goodness, NCIS-type criminals, where are they going to put my “castrated” ram?
Best,
Larry
Occupations forbidden to persons infected with venereal disease.
It sounds like a topic for Family Feud. And the survey says…
Dear Mr. SB,
Good morning.
Hahahah…Very keen observation, in your usual shining beacon style.
Hope things are well with you and yours.
Best,
Larry
