Facilitating better interactions between police officers and persons with autism spectrum disorder

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires the municipal police training committee to include instruction on the "blue envelope program" in its training curriculum for law enforcement officers every five years. The program involves designing blue envelopes that provide guidance on communicating with individuals with autism spectrum disorder and can hold a driver's license and registration. These envelopes will be made available to people with autism spectrum disorder or their guardians.
