Sheriff's statement on the State Senate’s vote on An Act relative to motor vehicle license suspension
Posted on: October 2, 2015 - 2:05am
“I applaud the State Senate for their unanimous vote to repeal automatic license suspensions for those convicted of non-driving drug offenses. The law currently on the books, while well-intentioned, has inadvertently created barriers to employment, health care and substance abuse treatment all of which are critical components for successful re-entry. Removing this hurdle will make re-entry easier, reducing recidivism and increasing public safety."
