New Legislative section of our website makes it easy to stay informed and bring your voice to the table!
There is a lot happening these days of significant importance to those impacted by autism both on Capitol Hill, and during the upcoming session of the 124th Maine Legislature. We have a newly expanded legislative area of our website that will enable you to stay better informed and bring your voice to the table. Get involved! Check out and bookmark our pages on "Recent and Pending State and Federal Legislation," which includes a summary of priority legislation, as well as links to details of specific bills and recently enacted laws, contact information for legislators, and links to information that will help you most effectively participate in the legislative process (how a bill becomes a law, what you should know about a a legislative document, how to testify at public hearings, and tips on communicating with legislators).
