Carol Amick keeps a busy work schedule
By LEE PORTER, Sun Bedford Correspondent
BEDFORD - State Representative Carol C. Amick flashed breathlessly in and out of the high school the other night, deposited a sheaf of bills recently filed for the 1976 session of the State Legislature, waved a breezy good- bye and promised to stay for a long heart-to-heart talk once her life has settled down. This change of pace should occur sometime after Feb. 21 when the vivacious brunette becomes the bride of Bill Noonan, a native of Ohio and self-employed as treasurer of Urban Dynamics Associates, Inc., of Boston. Intending to retain her Bedford residency after her marriage, she has taken on another responsibility by copping one of the two open caucus nominations for the position as Library Trustee. Meanwhile, concerned with things that are relevant to the present, she filed 29 bills of wide variety with a brief, description following:
In an attempt to end state agencies from using lobbyists paid by the taxpayers, a bill prohibiting public employes  [sic] to act as legislative agents; a bill that would keep legislators more informed when it comes time for them to vote on fiscal matters with the source of the funds listed; a bill authorizing cities and towns to establish recycling programs.
A FOURTH BILL would regulate the use of firearms and ammunition by those exercising police powers within the Commonwealth; a bill amending the firearms licensing laws. It would eliminate the police department's discretionary control of issuing licenses, and provide that any person except a felon or person convicted of drug-related crimes, could obtain a license to carry or possess a firearm.
Because she feels the state Milk Control Commission and the Milk Regulation Board has become outdated, Miss Amick has filed a bill asking for its abolishment; a bill providing for further regulation of on-shore oil facilities in the state; a bill requiring energy impact reports under the state's Environmental Policy Act; two bills concerning solar energy.. .one requiring its use in heating and air-conditioning state and federally-funded buildings, and another providing an option for its use in state buildings.
A BILL THAT would permit patients in state mental hospitals to refuse shock or lobotomy treatments if found to be legally competent; a bill providing greater protection in the area of human experimentation; a bill providing for a tri-town regional recreational conservation district in the towns of Lexington, Burlington, and Bedford. The land would include the controversial parcel in Burlington that owners have sought to have approved by the state for construction of an access road.
Increased jurisdiction by cities and towns on outdoor advertising; a corrective change in the Wetlands Protection Act; provisions that would enable insurance policies to be written in simplified language; a bill directing the state Department of Public Works to construct an access road off Route 3 into Middlesex Community College.
A bill that would provide student representation on state Board of Higher Education; a bill that would create a committee to study the effects of chlorocarbon compounds on health and the environment: a bill "prohibiting pay toilets in buildings open to the public; three bills amending the state morality laws which, written over 100 years ago, are slanted towards prosecuting only men for certain illegal acts. The changes would make the laws applicable to women as well as men.
Another bill would make the crime of enticing away a person for sexual purposes applicable to women as well as men; a bill making the crime of drugging a person for sexual intercourse applicable to women as well as men; and, a bill making the crime of unlawful intercourse with a feeble-minded person applicable to women as well as men.
