CLPA List of Upcoming DC Area Policy Meetings (October 3rd -October 7th)

Here is CLPA's weekly list of upcoming meetings.

Be sure to pay attention to the DC Council this week. They will hear a large number of bills during their legislative meeting on Tuesday. A number of these bills will have a lasting impact on residents if enacted. Bills such as the Elections Modernization Amendment Act, the Local Resident Voting Rights Act, and Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act, which addresses attacks on DC residents' reproductive freedom, should generate considerable debate. There are several public hearings in the Council this week. Look at the calendar on the DC Council webpage for a full list.

Maryland and Virginia legislative bodies are in session but are not as active this week. Be sure to check back with CLPA throughout the week for updates on legislation moving through the legislative process.
