A man who fought tirelessly to help pass legislation in honour of his late wife finally got to see his efforts pay off – and he's hoping the new law will now save others' lives. Peter DeMarco lost his wife Laura Beth Levis in 2016 after she suffered an asthma attack outside of a Massachusetts hospital alone. DeMarco said Levis, 34, was just steps away from the emergency room entrance but was unable to find the correct door. In the time since that day, DeMarco has been fighting on his wife's behalf to pass a piece of legislation that requires every ER entrance in Massachusetts to be easy to find and access. The bill – aptly named "Laura's Law" – was written to establish "first-ever standards for signage, lighting and the security monitoring of doors," which DeMarco hoped would prevent this incident from happening again. And on January 6, following weeks of DeMarco and his loved ones making hundreds of phone calls and writing emails to officials in support of the law, the bill finally passed.
