Thanks to the many advocates who testified in support of our police training bill on Wednesday, May 7, including our CEO Maura Sullivan.
The bill, “An Act relative to police interactions with persons on the autism spectrum” (H2686/S1741), seeks to better equip law enforcement officers with tools to effectively interact with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism.
Thank you to Public Safety Committee chairs Senator John J. Cronin and Representative Dan Cahill, all members of the Committee, and bill sponsors Senator Mike Moore and Representative Dave Rogers.
We look forward to continuing to advocate for this bill. Download our fact sheet to learn more about the bill here.
