2013-2014 Legislative Scorecard
Legislative Scorecard Votes and Leadership 2013-14 LEGISLATIVE SESSION - 1 - This is the inaugural edition of the Environmental League of Massachusetts legislative scorecard. We produced this scorecard to inform citizens about how their legislators voted on important environmental issues. We are pleased and grateful for the support of so many environmental leaders in the legislature. The scorecard relies first on roll call votes on legislation that deals with environmental and energy issues. Because there are so few roll call votes each session—and often these votes are unanimous—we have scored additional actions by legislators to further distinguish environmental champions. Bonus points were awarded to legislators who introduced bills that were ELM priorities or who introduced important amendments, particularly budget amendments to increase funding for state environmental agencies. In addition, we subtracted points for legislators who introduced legislation or amendments that we opposed. We want to recognize leadership and courage, in addition to votes, and have made every attempt to be fair and transparent in our scoring. Much happens during the legislative process that is impractical to score such as committee redrafts, committee votes to move or hold a bill, and measures that would improve flawed legislation. We have not attempted to include these actions, but we recognize that they greatly influence the process and outcomes. None of the bills or amendments scored here should be a surprise to legislators in terms of ELM’s support or opposition. Going forward, ELM will include votes and other actions that support additional revenues for transportation and promote transit, walking and biking. George Bachrach, President Erica Mattison, Legislative Director Highlights of the Session projects.

CLM Endorsed Legislation
40 COURT STREET, SUITE 410, BOSTON, MA 02108 | 617-695-1991 | WWW.CHILDRENSLEAGUE.ORG CLM Endorsed Legislation AN ACT RELATIVE TO MANDATED REPORTER REFORM (H.137) The bill establishes a Special Commission to review the existing mandated reporter law and make recommendations to improve the response and prevention of child abuse and neglect. The Commission will be composed of the OCA, DCF, EEC, the AG, CPCS, and CLM. FILED BY: SEN. JOAN LOVELY & REP. KAY KHAN LEAD BY: CHAIR KAY KHAN AN ACT RELATIVE TO EXPUNGEMENT (S.900) In 2018, Massachusetts passed legislation that created an opportunity to expunge juvenile and adult criminal records for folks whose offense was charged prior to their 21st birthday. The law created a significant limit: In order to expunge a record, there can only be one court case on the record. In effect, anyone who has a second or subsequent court case would be ineligible for expungement. This is a missed opportunity to tackle recidivism. This bill will close major gaps in the proposal by removing the only one court case restriction for cases charged prior to the individual’s 21st birthday and instead would limit eligibility by how long ago the individual had their last court case—allowing individuals to expunge their records if their last offense was three years (for misdemeanors) or seven years (for felonies) ago and they have no subsequent court case since. It will also reduce the number of offenses that are categorically ineligible for expungement (while keeping judicial discretion on the review of expungement requests), reduce the time to seal juvenile records for non- adjudications and allow for automatic sealing of eligible records.

Justice Reinvestment
Justice Reinvestment Senate Bill 64 House Bill 1429 An Act to Increase Neighborhood Safety and Opportunity Senator Sonia Chang-Díaz (D-Boston) and Rep. Mary Keefe (D-Worcester) and 55 co-sponsoring legislators have filed an omnibus bill backed by a large coalition of community, religious, and union organizations to improve Massachusetts’ systems of criminal justice, end mass incarceration, and re-invest in our communities through job and educational opportunity. Included in the bill are: I. Criminal Justice Reforms • Repeal Mandatory Minimum Drug Sentences – This would restore judicial discretion in sentencing for drug charges, reducing the risk of longer than warranted prison terms; • Reduce Certain Low-Level Felonies to Misdemeanors – Under this scenario certain offenses (such as shoplifting or other petty theft, or low-level drug charges) would be made misdemeanors, with different sanctions that rely less on long and expensive terms of incarceration; • End Collateral Sanctions at the RMV – This would eliminate the current law requiring the Registry of Motor Vehicles to confiscate the license of any person convicted of any drug offense (even where charges are unrelated to the operation of a vehicle) for up to 5 years and charge at least $500 to reinstate it; and • Extraordinary Medical Placement – This would allow a judge to decide whether a person who is permanently incapacitated or terminally ill should be transferred out of prison for treatment, remaining under state custody. II. Jobs and Schools The final sections of the bill establish a Trust fund with the cost savings from these improvements in the criminal justice system. Trust funds will be used to right our unbalanced economy by investing in evidence-based practices including job development efforts for youth, veterans, victims of violence, and other people with significant barriers to employment, and supporting programs that help at-risk youth to stay in school.
