MAMH Testimony in Support of H.1601/S.1037, An Act Prohibiting Discrimination Against Adults with Disabilities in Family and Juvenile Court Proceedings

Written testimony to Chair Michael Day, Chair James Eldridge, and members of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary in support of H.1601/S.1037, An Act prohibiting discrimination against adults with disabilities in family and juvenile court proceedings. This legislation would provide protections to parents with disabilities, especially psychiatric or intellectual disabilities, so they do not inappropriately lose custody or parenting due to disability discrimination.
