President signs Suzanne Lyall campus safety law

August 14, 2008

President Bush today signed a bill that requires colleges and law enforcement agencies to develop procedures for investigating violent crimes.

The legislation was promoted by the parents of Suzanne Lyall, a University at Albany sophomore who disappeared in 1998 and has been missing ever since.

“Hopefully it will save lives,” said Doug Lyall, Suzanne’s father, a 66-year-old retired state worker who lives in Milton.

The legislation, named the Suzanne Lyall Campus Safety Act, focuses on minimizing confusion and delays during the initial investigation of a violent felony, according to the office of U.S. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Greenport, who sponsored the act.
