AJ and I helped write and get enacted a mandatory PD registry for California. It is begining with a pilot program in three counties chosen for their demographic resemblence to the rest of the country.

The program is not supported by state funding, but has received funding for the trial program from the NIEHS and from the MJFF. Having moved to KY I am not certain of the current status of the pilot program. For additional information about the program, you can PM me and I will give you the email addresses for the program's prime author, who hatched the plan during a break in the 2003 PAN Forum, and for a SO CAL PD activist who is the best source for all things going on in California, and who sends out a what's happening in Cal email report every month.

Also, re: the Nebraska registry, the best contact I can think of, who helped get the program going and is still involved, is Rita Weeks. Again, you can PM me for her email contact address if you don't have it.
