Call it Gov. Chris Christie's Friday frenzy.

Just a few days before he was set to leave the state to attend the Republican Governors Association meeting in Aspen, Colo., Christie was one busy governor.

He cleared off many of the bills sent to him by lawmakers in June, signing 72 into law and vetoing 14 others. The measures before him covered everything from the state's smoking age and tougher drunken driving penalties to expanding paid family leave and taxing Airbnb homes.

Here's a a quick look at 11 of them that have a direct impact on you:

1. Beginning November, you'll have to be 21 to buy cigarettes

Christie reversed himself by choosing to raise the age of tobacco and electronic cigarette products sales in New Jersey to anyone under 21.

The state already had banned tobacco sales to anyone under 19 a dozen years ago. But the bill's advocates pushed for a higher age pointing to studies that show youth who don't take up smoking into their early 20s will never make it a habit.

Vendors who violate the law would face a maximum fine of $1,000. The law takes effect in November.

Christie vetoed a similar bill in 2016 at the behest of convenience store and gas station owners who feared they would lose millions of dollars in not only tobacco and e-cigarette sales, but also snacks, beverages and other items smokers might want.

2. More jail time for drunken drivers who kill people

Christie signed a bill that requires a prison sentence of at least three years for drunken drivers convicted of homicide in New Jersey.

Known as "Ralph and David's Law," the measure creates a new crime — third-degree strict liability homicide — for causing a death by driving a car or operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The legislation was in response to the outcry over light sentences that some drunken drivers have received because their crimes didn't rise to the level of the state's first- or second-degree offenses addressing driving under the influence.

The law was named for David Heim and Ralph Politi Jr., whose cases highlighted the loopholes in New Jersey's drunken driving laws.

3. N.J. will NOT tax Airbnb homes

Declaring it would "do real harm" to the state's economy, Christie vetoed a bill that would mandate online marketplaces such as Airbnb that offer short-term housing rentals be taxed the same way hotels are in New Jersey.

The Democratic-sponsored legislation would allow municipalities to impose sales and use taxes , as well as occupancy fees, as hotels are required to pay.

But Christie, a Republican, argued it would levy a new tax on property owners and likely lead to higher prices for renters.

In New Jersey, about 6,100 residents hosted sites through Airbnb last year , renting to about 257,000 people. That led to $50 million in income for the renters.

4. Paid family leave program won't expand

Christie vetoed a bill expanding paid leave for New Jersey workers caring for a new child or sick relative.

Christie's conditional veto wipes out the expansion of benefits to siblings, grandparents, grandchildren and parents-in-law. Under the current law, only children, parents, spouses, domestic partners and civil union partners qualify.

Christie criticized the Legislature for ignoring the increased cost to taxpayers and risks the expansion could pose to small businesses. He said he would support the legislation if if it was rewritten to focus on publicizing what is a little-used program.

The bill (A4927) would have increased the eligibility period for family leave insurance from six to 12 weeks and raise the cap on the reimbursement an applicant can receive.

Democratic sponsors and the liberal-leaning think tank, New Jersey Policy Perspective have argued low-income families can't afford to get by on the weekly cap on benefits — two-thirds of wages up to $633 a week.

5. Christie says no to infant mattress ban

Christie rejected legislation that would have prevented New Jersey retailers from selling supplemental crib mattresses, an effort led by a woman whose infant son suffocated in a playpen in 2000.

In his conditional veto statement, the governor noted the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has so far declined to ban the mattresses but continues to study the issue. "I am troubled by this bill's disregard for the findings of the CPSC," he said.

Joyce Davis, whose 4-1/2-month-old son Garret, died after his head was trapped between a supplemental mattress and the soft side of a playpen, expressed disappointment in an email on Friday. She declined further comment until she could confer with others involved with the issue.

She founded the nonprofit advocacy organization, Keeping Babies Safe, to pass the legislation and discourage stores from selling supplemental mattresses.

6. Do we need more libraries? You get to decide in November

Christie will allow voters to decide whether the state ought to dedicate $125 million in bonds to build, expand and better equip New Jersey's public libraries.

The "New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act" will appear on the November election ballot.

The measure (A222), authorizes the state to provide grants that would pay for half the cost of constructing or upgrading a library, with local governments covering the other half.

"Libraries are not just for storing books. They are shelter during a storm, career centers, and gathering places for new neighbors. They help our children grow into well-rounded adults. We simply cannot afford to let them crumble or fade away." said state Sen. Christopher "Kip" Bateman (R-Somerset) a sponsor of the bill.

7. Expanding tough sentences for child killers under Joan's Law

Christie signed a bill (S607) expanding "Joan's Law," the statute that eliminated parole as an option for those convicted of the murder of any minor 14 years and younger during the commission of a sex crime in New Jersey.

The law now covers any minor victims 18 years and younger.

"Joan's Law" is named for Joan D'Alessandro, a 7-year-old who disappeared in 1973 after delivering Girl Scout cookies to the Hillsdale home of high school science teacher who later confessed to her murder.

Though sentenced to life in prison, the killer was given the possibility of parole 13 years later.

Joan's mother, Rosemarie D'Alessandro, worked to change the punishment for such heinous crimes against minors to life without parole.

The expansion comes on the 20th anniversary of the enactment of Joan's Law.

A brief ceremony commemorating the signing at her daughter's memorial will be scheduled in Hillsdale later this summer, to which D'Alessandro plans to invite the governor.

8. Going after Internet mugshot 'extortion'

Christie signed a bill allowing those who gather criminal records and charge fees to remove them from the internet to be sued in state court.

The measure specifically targets sites that exist solely to solicit fees for taking down embarrassing material from the Web, according to a key sponsor.

"These website operators put these mugshots online just to extort people and charge them to remove their photos," state Assemblyman Raj Mukherji (D-Hudson) told NJ Advance Media on Friday. "That serves no public information purpose. It's a shakedown."

Most mainstream news organizations, including NJ Advance Media, regularly publish mugshots as a matter of public record but very rarely remove them and do not charge money for doing so.

9. Toughening child porn laws

Christie signed a bill that would toughen the state's child pornography law.

Sponsors say the law will keep pace with changes and technology, and, among other things, boost penalties and establish the crime of leading a child pornography network.

"This law is designed to address the disturbing changes in the child pornography industry that have unfortunately been aided by technology, but are not adequately addressed by our current laws," said Assemblywoman Valeri Vaineri Huttle (D-Bergen), a co-sponsor.

10. See your doctor -- on your laptop or smart phone

Christie signed a bill to regulate and expand the burgeoning tele-medicine industry in New Jersey, which supporters say will enable medically fragile people to remain home rather than having to travel for appointments, and save money by eliminating unnecessary emergency room visits.

The new law will require insurance companies to reimburse telemedicine services at the same rate as in-person visits. Doctors would be obligated to meet with a patient in person before a prescription is written for potentially addictive substances.

State Sen. Joseph Vitale, (D-Middlesex), one of the sponsors, said the law will make it easier for solo or small-practice doctors and nurse practitioners to break into the industry, "which will save everyone time and money."

Telemedicine treats patients via video conferencing, the electronic transmission of images and medical records and the remote monitoring of vital signs and symptoms

"Many people live too far away or can't afford to take time off of work to go see a doctor. That can be life-threatening for someone with a chronic condition," said state Sen. Diane Allen (R-Burlington), also a sponsor.

11. More open space in New Jersey

Christie signed several bills aimed at helping the environment in New Jersey, including measures to appropriate about $270 million to preserve open space and require water testing.

"We are glad to see money going out for open space because it has been held up for so long. Supporting open space is a win-win for the people and environment of New Jersey," said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. Creating open space can invigorate a community and everyone who lives in it."
