Please join the Legislation & Policy Committee for a February 28, 2024 noon Zoom meeting. We will be discussing committee work on legislative issues, including recent work on HBs 5300, 5301, 5302 and 5303, which relate to name and gender marker changes, and HB 4718, which would remove the "gay panic" and "trans panic" defenses from Michigan law.
We will be joined by special guests Nathan Triplett, Public Policy Counsel for the State Bar of Michigan, Mari Nemec, Policy Counsel for the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association, and Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, Speaker Pro Tempore for the Michigan House of Representatives. They will each discuss their organization's role in public policy.
