BAN OF ALUMINUM BATS IN NEW JERSEY - "Steven's Law"
New Jersey Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan reintroduced his bill (A-372), to ban the
use of non wood bats at all levels of youth baseball from high school to tee ball, into
the new legislative session. The bill has been referred to the Law and Public Safety
Committee. To date, a hearing date has not been scheduled. One subtle change to
the new bill is the name. It is now titled “Steven’s Law” after the young boy who was
seriously injured in a Police Athletic League game two years ago. We must all be
vigilant of this effort and I urge you to join the Don’t Take My Bat Away Coalition. Click above
Without your support this unnecessary legislation may become law in this state and
others.

Little League Baseball International has joined a coalition called Don't Take My Bat Away
(DTMBA).
This coalition consists of parents, coaches and other baseball organizations that OPPOSE
pending legislation in New Jersey that would make it illegal to use non-wood (aluminum
and titanium) bats in baseball and softball games consisting of children 18 and under.
