Acting Governor Steve Sweeney and Senator Jim Whelan, D-Atlantic, pose for a picture with the Branca family in their home after signing “Ricci’s Law” which would require certain first, second and subsequent offenders under the State’s driving while intoxicated laws to install an ignition interlock device. The Legislation was named after Ricci Branca, a 17-year old Egg Harbor Township resident who was killed by a repeat drunk driver in 2006.
