  • Opinion on the Compatibility with the European Standards of the Bill to Ensure Respect for the Principles of the Republic by All
    EXPERT COUNCIL ON NGO LAW CONF/EXP(2021)3 31 March 2021 OPINION ON THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF THE BILL TO ENSURE RESPECT FOR THE PRINCIPLES OF THE REPUBLIC BY ALL Opinion prepared by the Expert Council on NGO Law of the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe The opinions expressed in this work are the responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy of the Council of Europe. Page 2 of 7 1. The bill to ensure respect for the principles of the Republic by all, currently being examined by the French Parliament, gives a central place to associations, described as a sphere where "undermining work (...) mainly of Islamic inspiration" is being carried out, an "insidious but powerful communitarian entryism, [which] is slowly corroding the foundations of [society] in certain territories"1. The accelerated parliamentary procedure used, which is hardly compatible with European requirements in this area2, does not seem to have allowed the societal and democratic issues to be fully assessed. The Expert Council on NGO Law of the Conference of INGOs is deeply concerned about the restrictions that would be placed on the exercise of freedom of association in France if the text were adopted as it stands. 2. The control of foreign funding of associations, in order to "reduce the capacity of foreign actors to influence and control" them3, is the first source of concern. The text imposes on religious and mixed associations (with both a religious and a cultural or social goal) the obligation to declare foreign resources in excess of 10 000 euros.

  • AN ACT CONCERNING WORKERS' COMPENSATION. Vote Date: 3/25/2021 Vote Action: Joint Favorable Substitute PH Date: 3/11/2021 File No
    Labor and Public Employees Committee JOINT FAVORABLE REPORT Bill No.: HB-6478 Title: AN ACT CONCERNING WORKERS' COMPENSATION. Vote Date: 3/25/2021 Vote Action: Joint Favorable Substitute PH Date: 3/11/2021 File No.: Disclaimer: The following JOINT FAVORABLE Report is prepared for the benefit of the members of the General Assembly, solely for purposes of information, summarization and explanation and does not represent the intent of the General Assembly or either chamber thereof for any purpose. SPONSORS OF BILL: Labor and Public Employees Committee REASONS FOR BILL: Essential workers have been heavily relied upon throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that Connecticut's basic economic needs, such as healthcare, food production and distribution, emergency services, and more, are adequately met. This reliance has revealed the invaluable nature of these workers to the basic functioning of our society, while simultaneously placing them at the greatest risk of contracting COVID-19. These workers, now considered essential, also generally receive low pay and poor or nonexistent benefits in exchange for fulfilling these socially invaluable positions. RESPONSE FROM ADMINISTRATION/AGENCY: STEPHEN MORELLI, CHAIRMAN, WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION Stephen testified on behalf of the Workers' Compensation Commission on subsection (f) of section 4 of the bill. Regarding item 2, Stephen testified that the requirement may result in more information being requested and processed from these entities, which may require the WCC to adopt new processes to provide the information in a manner which is useful to the committee. Regarding item 4, Stephen requested some clarification on when a claim would be considered "contested." Regarding item 9, Stephen again requested further clarification as to what constitutes the timeframe of a claim being adjudicated.

    2021 - 2022 LEGISLATURE LRB-2962/1 EKL:klm&wlj 2021 SENATE BILL 498 August 5, 2021 - Introduced by Senators AGARD and JOHNSON, cosponsored by Representatives VRUWINK, HEBL, SNODGRASS, CONLEY, ANDRACA, NEUBAUER, SHELTON, STUBBS, POPE, SINICKI, HESSELBEIN, SUBECK, EMERSON, BOWEN and SHANKLAND. Referred to Committee on Financial Institutions and Revenue. 1 AN ACT to amend 71.05 (6) (b) 4. (intro.), 71.05 (6) (b) 54. (intro.) and 71.83 (1) 2 (a) 6.; and to create 71.05 (1) (ad) of the statutes; relating to: tax exemption 3 for certain retirement benefits received from the Wisconsin Retirement 4 System. Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill provides an income tax exemption for pension payments received from the Wisconsin Retirement System by protective occupation participants, as defined under current law with respect to the WRS, correctional officers, and frontline workers. The bill defines “frontline worker” to mean an individual who was a state, county, or municipal employee with regular job duties that, as determined by the Employment Relations Commission in consultation with the Department of Revenue, included interacting with members of the public or with large populations of people or directly involved the maintenance of public works. Elected state officials, constitutional officers, agency heads, and legislative staff are excluded from the definition of “frontline worker.” Under the bill, 25 percent of the pension payment received in 2021 is exempt; 50 percent of the payment received in 2022 is exempt; 75 percent of the payment received in 2023 is exempt; and 100 percent of the payment received in 2024 and thereafter is exempt.

  • DISTRICT of COLUMBIA V. HELLER
    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2007 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ET AL. v. HELLER CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 07–290. Argued March 18, 2008—Decided June 26, 2008 District of Columbia law bans handgun possession by making it a crime to carry an unregistered firearm and prohibiting the registration of handguns; provides separately that no person may carry an unli- censed handgun, but authorizes the police chief to issue 1-year li- censes; and requires residents to keep lawfully owned firearms unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock or similar de- vice. Respondent Heller, a D. C. special policeman, applied to regis- ter a handgun he wished to keep at home, but the District refused. He filed this suit seeking, on Second Amendment grounds, to enjoin the city from enforcing the bar on handgun registration, the licensing requirement insofar as it prohibits carrying an unlicensed firearm in the home, and the trigger-lock requirement insofar as it prohibits the use of functional firearms in the home. The District Court dismissed the suit, but the D.

  • A Case Study of Production Processes on Television Police Drama “The Bill”
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Watching the Cops: a case study of production processes on television police drama “The Bill” Marianne Colbran A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, September 2011 Page 1 of 312 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 88,000 words. Page 2 of 312 Abstract This thesis examines the process of storytelling on television police drama, The Bill. It explores how factors such as commercial imperatives, working processes and artistic constraints affected representation of the police. The study argues that, in the early days of the show, stories originated with the freelance writers and were based on research and observation of police work. Representation of the police was favourable, partly due to the ideological views of the makers and partly due to the format: stories had to be resolved within a half-hour timeslot, which militated against writers being able to tell stories about issues such as racism, sexism and corruption.
