Legislation

We supported this proposed constitutional amendment which would remove the state Constitution’s onerous requirement that bars individuals from voting in an election, except for President, unless they have registered to vote at least 30 days in advance.

While ensuring a healthy workplace is a laudable goal, we opposed a piece of far-reaching and subjective legislation which would impose liability on employers or co-workers who, among other actions, "confuse" a person emotionally.

We strongly supported this legislation which would make the possession of small amounts of certain controlled substances a civil violation.

Current state law explicitly singles out individuals convicted for sex work offenses for mandatory HIV testing. We supported the repeal of this statute which is discriminatory towards both sex workers and individuals with HIV.

We strongly supported this legislation which would ensure protections for patients and providers of reproductive and gender-affirming health care services against the imposition of criminal or civil liability for providing care to people from states banning these services.

We opposed this bill to allow healthcare employees who have been assaulted at work to have their names and addresses removed from the voter rolls.

We opposed legislation which would institute a “healthcare service provider abuser registry” for Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals (BHDDH) employees

We urged amendments to this bill which commendably attempts to establish a pilot program in two high schools to try to increase student attendance through the aggressive provision of supportive services.

Current law allows municipalities to limit the maximum number of unrelated persons who can live together in a dwelling, but of no less than three people. We supported this bill which would increase the limit to five.
