MWL Public Policy Advocacy Committee:
Call to Action
Legislative Tracking Summary
Legislative
Subcommittee Chairs: Rachel Hamlin, Megan Brennan
This year, with the assistance of the Minnesota Coalition for
Battered Women, the PPA Committee has been tracking bills at the Minnesota
legislature during the 2008 session that could have an impact on victims of
domestic violence. Please visit “Tracking” to
review a summary and status of Minnesota bills tracked this session.
In addition,
we want to alert you to a very important upcoming opportunity for advocacy on
proposed budget cuts to crime victim services that are being deliberated as
part of the Omnibus Finance Bill. When the Omnibus Bill is up for vote, we
will be issuing a call-to-action to contact your legislators.
