New legislation proposed by Democratic State Rep. Kam Buckner would lower the minimum voting age to 16 years old for state and local elections.

Currently, the minimum age to vote is 18 for all elections. The age to vote for President and members of Congress would remain unchanged if the legislation passes.

And Republican Rep. Kevin Schmidt has proposed a bill that would impose child support obligations on drivers who kill parents while driving under the influence.
