NJ teen drivers will pay $4 for license decals
New Jersey drivers younger than 21 will pay $4 for a pair of license plate decals they'll be required to display starting May 1.
The state Division of Motor Vehicles said it has awarded a $664,000 contract to a Chicago-based firm to manufacture the reflective red stickers.
They're designed to help police identify vehicles operated by teenage drivers so officers can enforce restrictions on passenger limits and a night driving curfew.
The decals are required under "Kayleigh's Law," named in memory of a 16-year old central New Jersey high school student killed in a car driven by another teen in 2006.

63 suicide doses given in nine months of law
The state of Washington says 63 suicide prescriptions were dispensed during the first nine months of the states "death with dignity" act to people between the ages of 48 and 95.
The Health Department said that of the 63 who received lethal doses, 47 are known to have died.
36 of them died after taking the medications and 7 most likely died from their ailment. The agency says it doesn't know the details of the other 4 because the death certificate or report hasn't been filed.
