  • Introduction Lobbying and Advocacy
    Introduction This Legislative Handbook is designed to provide guidance and assistance to representatives of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. (NJAMHAA) member organizations who participate in legislative activities. Specifically, the Legislative Handbook presents the Association’s legislative policy and procedures, simplifies the complexities of the legislative process, and provides an orientation to grassroots lobbying for all members. On behalf of its members, NJAMHAA meets with legislators, policy makers and business leaders in order to influence legislative, regulatory and funding decisions in ways that have the most positive outcome on its members. Through increased visibility and a stronger presence, NJAMHAA ensures that members’ concerns are expressed and that their interests are represented. This allows members the peace of mind of knowing that legislative or regulatory changes that are made will occur with their views expressed. NJAMHAA is committed to facilitating meaningful exchange both within the Association and with other industry stakeholders to achieve mutual advocacy. While NJAMHAA aggressively lobbies state and federal legislators on behalf of its members, these lawmakers need to hear from you, their local constituents, those who elect them. The louder and stronger the voice, the more impact that it has on all who hear it. Please use and refer back to this valuable resource to familiarize yourself with legislative advocacy procedures and to contact key legislators to collectively join other NJAMHAA members in advancing the cause for an improved community behavioral health system. Lobbying and Advocacy Oftentimes, the words “lobbying” and “advocacy” are used interchangeably. The legal definition of lobbying usually involves attempting to influence legislation.

  • February 15, 2019 Mr. Paul A. Peditto
    February 15, 2019 Mr. Paul A. Peditto Maryland Department of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Service 580 Taylor Avenue, E-1 Annapolis, MD 21401 Dear Mr. Peditto: We are writing to you to request that the Maryland Department of Natural Resources reinstate the "Suburban Archery Hunting Corridor" and remove the 15-deer bag limit that now constrains hunters. Several of us wrote to you last year expressing our opposition to the bag limit change and, as you are aware, Montgomery County is experiencing the effects of a serious overpopulation of deer. Deer collisions continue to cost our residents thousands of dollars in property damage and also pose health and safety risks. Our agricultural community sustains crop loses each year because of deer foraging their fields. Homeowners are frustrated by the deer ruining their landscaping. We are also well aware of the debilitating effects of Lyme Disease caused by the deer tick. The number of reported cases of Lyme disease continues to grow with the growing population of deer in our area. Our specific concerns pertain to the current 15 deer bag limits for bow hunters. We support the reestablishment of the Suburban Deer Archery Zone (Zone) and an unlimited bag limit for antlerless deer in the Zone. Suburban counties such as Montgomery County should not be subject to the 15 deer bag limit which is designed to increase deer herds in Maryland’s rural counties. We also support an increase in the antlered deer bag limit from the current 2 deer limit to 6 antlered deer in the Zone. Every effort should be made to humanely reduce the deer population in Maryland.
