Legislation

We opposed legislation which would create an “animal abuse registry” similar to the registration requirements already in effect for persons convicted of sex offenses.

We supported this legislation which codifies the collection of certain demographic data – specifically race, sex, country of origin, and level of education – from individuals entering the custody of the state Department of Corrections.

We strongly supported legislation which would have required cities and town to disclose basic information on their website about litigation in which they are involved.

We urged that this Article be amended to expand the state’s “medical parole” statute to be inclusive of LWOP sentences as a matter of compassionate and fiscally responsible policy.

We opposed a bill which would have allowed any member of a public body who is 65 years of age or older to participate in meetings of the body remotely, by phone or video.
