Next of Kin Ohio is the 1st state to have this law.

On August 7, 2006, our son, David Christopher Money, was killed in an auto accident when his van hydroplaned on a Columbus highway. Rather than being notified by authorities of his accident, his mom, Carmela, was told by a Hospitalchaplain over the phone that her only child was dead.

As a result of this traumatic event, Carmela set out to create a bill that would notify the next of kin immediately, making it possible for family members to be with their loved ones right away. I do not want others to have to experience the pain I have endured by not getting to be with David right away and I will never get that back.

After a year of hard work and dedication, Money-Burge Act was signed by Governor Strickland May 1, 2008, allowing emergency contact information to be readily available for law enforcement in the state of Ohio.
