Thanks for Taking Action in 2022
Next Step: Email Senate Judiciary
The RI House has voted for three common-sense, evidence-backed reforms and sent them to the Senate Judiciary Commitee. The next step to getting these bills to Governor Dan McKee’s desk for signature is for Senate Judiciary to vote to move these three bills to the floor for a vote.
On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, Senate Judiciary will take up these bills – please send this email to urge the Committee to vote in favor of these reforms.
