Hearing on October 1st
The Massachusetts Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight scheduled its hearing on the Resolve providing for an investigation and study by special commission relative to the one-day solemnizer rule (Resolve S1831) for Tuesday, October 1, 2019 between 1:00-3:00. This is exciting news! JPus was instrumental in bringing this bill forward: writing a white paper about the rule and working with Senator Julian Cyr, the bill’s sponsor.
JPus’ Loretta Jay will join Senator Cyr and testify in support of the bill. Massachusetts JPs are encouraged to contact members of the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight and encourage them to vote in support of the bill, and to also testify in person. See the bill here and follow its progress through the legislature. Read more about the problems related to the 1-Day Rule. Stay tuned for additional guidance on getting involved.
Swing by and visit JPus at the Vermont Town Clerk Association’s Annual Conference. The action is at Lake Morey Resort, in Fairlee. We are looking forward to spending time with our friends and colleagues: Town clerks. Being able to talk about our wonderful JP members and share material promoting findaJP.com is what it is all about. We hope that if you’re in the area you’ll stop to see us too.
