PLEASE MAKE TWO CALLS ASAP!!!
THE JUSTICE CENTER BILL IS BEING HELD HOSTAGE IN THE SENATE!!!
As you know, IAC has been working diligently with NYSARC, ALIA, CP of NYS and DDAWNY to pass S.7232-A(Carlucci)/A.9605-A(Gunther) which would require the Justice Center to take into account critical information, including clinical information, before interviewing a disabled or vulnerable person. The bill would also require, as appropriate, notification of personal representatives such as parents and guardians of an impending interview and require that the disabled or vulnerable person be notified that an interview with the Justice Center is voluntary.
THE AMENDED BILLS WERE NEGOTIATED WITH THE JUSTICE CENTER AND THE EXECUTIVE!
There is no substantive objection to this bill!
Please call Senator Libous and Senator Skelos and tell them that you strongly support S7232-A (Carlucci) and ask that it be moved to the Senate Calendar and passed. Call the Senate switchboard at 518-455-2800.
Thanks and if you get an interesting response please email me.
Thanks!
