HB 6916, An Act Concerning the Correction Advisory Committee

As an organization that believes government transparency and accountability are imperative to a democracy and that fights for fair and equal justice for everyone in the criminal justice system, the ACLU-CT supports efforts to ensure that advisory boards and oversight committees are impartial from the government entities that they oversee. House Bill 6916 would ensure that any members of the Correction Advisory Committee who are employed by the Department of Correction while serving on the committee are nonvoting members.
