Oficina de distrito:
Creo firmemente en centrar las voces de las partes interesadas en la elaboración de políticas y, a menudo, uso la frase "nada para nosotros sin nosotros" para reflejar mi creencia de que las mejores políticas son elaboradas por quienes se ven más directamente afectados. Mis áreas de enfoque legislativo incluyen la justicia penal, la justicia reproductiva y la protección de la atención médica, y garantizar que nuestras leyes aseguren la igualdad para aquellos que nuestro gobierno descuida e ignora con demasiada frecuencia.
~ Representante Kelly Cassidy

HB3587
Paquete de Reformas a la Seguridad Pública
This bill provides that crime victims have the right to be treated with fairness and respect during the investigatory process, including the right to be free from deception and free from the knowing communication of false facts about evidence during interviews and conversations with law enforcement.
HB3710
HB2784
Ley de apoyo y servicios de emergencia comunitarios
This bill makes permanent the very successful program in the Cook County Court system that allows judges the discretion to waive assessments or fees against criminal defendants. This bill recognizes that fees and fines against indigent defendants can represent an impossible to overcome barrier to completing a sentence and successful reentry.
HB2784
Ley de apoyo y servicios de emergencia comunitarios
This bill provides a comprehensive package of improvements on guidance to health care providers to ensure policies center the needs of survivors in all decisions, including guidance for so-called transfer hospitals that comply with the law by partnering with a treatment hospital with the resources to handle the complex cases. This stems from a case where a survivor was told to travel 70 miles one way to receive care when there were indeed closer options.
HB2784
Ley de apoyo y servicios de emergencia comunitarios
This bill follows up on discussions on implementation of the Community Emergency Services and Supports Act (CESSA), making adjustments to allow for practical implementation of mental health first response protocols in areas with diverse needs and resources across the state.
