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.

SINCE 1968 Association President’s Message Welcome to the 50th Annual Awards Banquet of the National /Massachusetts Italian American Police Officer’s Association Dear Friends, Since 1968 the National Association of Italian American Police Officers has been promoting the role of law enforcement in our communities and honoring our Italian Heritage. This is the 50th year as an Association and we continue to provide recognition of the courageous actions of members of law enforcement in their efforts to preserve the peace and maintain order. The Association was started by a group of Boston Police Department Officers that sought to organize for upward mobility in the department and in celebration of their Italian Heritage. Over the years the organization has expanded throughout Massachusetts and around the country. We have members in Florida, California, Texas, and Illinois to name a few. Law enforcement careers are one of the few where each day you do not know what violent or potentially life threatening event you may be confronted with. So far in 2018, 110 officers have been killed in the line of duty. Despite some highly publicized incidents of rouge officers dishonoring the badge the vast majority of officers work hard every day to protect the public and control crime.

Testimony HWM Judiciary (HOU) Subject: Virtual Testimony Re: SB 2800
From: Kelly Raghavan <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2020 11:17 PM To: Testimony HWM Judiciary (HOU) Subject: Virtual testimony re: SB 2800 Dear Chairman Aaron Michlewitz & Co-chair Rep. Claire Cronin: My name is Kelly Raghavan. I am a resident of Lincoln, MA and a member of March like a Mother: for Black Lives. I am writing this virtual testimony to urge you to pass SB.2800 the Reform, Shift, Build Act in its entirety. It is the minimum and the bill must leave the legislature in its entirety. I support this bill because I believe it is vitally important to change the way law officers police people of color in our state and in our country in general. This bill bans chokeholds, promotes de-escalation tactics, certifies police officers, prohibits the use of facial recognition, limits qualified immunity for police, and redirects money from policing to community investment. I urge you to ensure that all aspects of this bill are intact. We are in a historical moment and this bill ensures that we in Massachusetts meet the demand of this movement. Thank you for your consideration of your request to give SB.2800 a favorable report. Sincerely, Kelly Raghavan Lincoln, MA From: Reza Akhtar <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2020 11:17 PM To: Testimony HWM Judiciary (HOU) Subject: Reform, Shift, and Build Hello, My name is Reza Akhtar, and I am a resident of Boston, MA. I am writing to encourage the Massachusetts House of Representatives to pass the Reform, Shift, and Build Act (S.2800).

Bristol County
YOUTH JUSTICE VOTER GUIDE AND LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD: MASSACHUSETTS 2020 BRISTOL COUNTY WELCOME LETTER Each year, thousands of young people in Massachusetts come in contact with the juvenile justice system. These young people are disproportionately children of color, children from the child welfare system, children coming from areas of concentrated poverty, and LGBTQ children. For the majority of these young people, interactions with the juvenile justice system are overwhelmingly negative, and lead to poor outcomes and even increased delinquency. Progress in reforming our legal system into one that is fair and works to create positive outcomes for all system-involved youth, creating stronger and safer communities for everyone, is dependent on elected officials who support or oppose these reforms. This non-partisan voter guide is intended to ensure that you, as a voter, know your rights and are informed in our decisions. The primary focus of this voter guide is to provide the voting record of state elected officials currently in office. We also compiled information on resources from MassVOTE and the Massachusetts Chapter of the League of Women Voters regarding candidate forums in contested elections. This voter guide is intended for educational purposes. The above not-for-profit, non-partisan organizations do not endorse any candidates or political parties for public office.
