Senate Bill No. 1005 (update)
To follow up this earlier POST on Massachusetts Senate Bill No. 1005 (An act relative to the commitment of sexually dangerous persons), I now have the names of the nine state representatives who voted against this measure. It should be noted that there was a proposed amendment to this bill that was rejected by a vote of 21-133. I do not have the roll call vote for that amendment, but it seems that the nine "nay" votes were among the supporters of that amendment.
I would be very curious to learn (a) what was the content of that amendment, and (b) what was the rationale of these nine legislators who voted against passage of the final bill. I will hold off any vitriolic comments toward these individuals until the facts are in.More later.
