Legislative & Outreach Committee
Legislative & Outreach Committee
The committee is charged with the duty of being actively involved in legislative and rule-making processes, advising the Executive Board as to policy options and their implications; proposing and monitoring legislation; and recommending rules and proposed actions that could affect the courts. The committee is also charged with representing MACM in legislative and rulemaking activities of other groups, such as the State Legislative Strategy Team and the Legislative Advisory Workgroup. The Legislative & Outreach Committee is also very active in promoting legislative outreach among the MACM membership. This is a collaborative effort with the bench and state court administration in order to educate and foster a relationship between the judicial and legislative branches of government.
