Sherry Chapman was the recipient of the Tolland County Bar Association's 2009 "Liberty Bell Award" for rendering outstanding community service in promoting a better understanding and appreciation of the law.
Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) met with Sherry Chapman of Coventry, CT April 23,2009 to discuss teen driver safety and the Safe Teen and Novice Driver Uniform Protection Act (STANDUP), which would enact national standards for teen drivers. In 2007, 62 people were killed in crashes involving teen drivers in Connecticut. Over the past five years, Connecticut crashes involving teen drivers claimed 285 lives. Nationally, since 1999, almost 78,000 people have been killed in crashes involving teen drivers. Dodd originally introduced the STANDUP Act with Senator John Warner (R-VA) in 2005 and plans to reintroduce the bill in the coming weeks.
