[Njagdu] New bill in NJ State legislature

[Marion Gwizdala]

Dear all,

 

                I think this is a good time to urge your legislators to
create criminal remedies for violation of the civil rights of a disabled
person, as per our resolution 2010-25 attached to this message. The purpose
for criminal remedies is not to throw people in jail, as this will likely
never happen. The purpose is to give law enforcement the authority to
intervene and to issue an order to appear should the offender be unwilling
to comply. Thirty-five states currently have such provisions. If we need to
have a discussion of this issue, please let me know and I will facilitate
this discussion.

 

Fraternally yours,

 

Marion Gwizdala, President

FYI.   S2838, sponsored by Senator Bucco, guarantees full and equal access
to all housing to disabled persons who retain their retired service or guide
dog as a pet, and who also obtain a new service or guide dog.
