Because Section 2 of Senate Bill 873 expands carceral lien recovery, we oppose this section vigorously and must ask this Committee to withhold its support from the bill until this language is changed or removed.
Senate Bill 873, An Act Mitigating Adverse Tax Consequences Resulting from Employees Working Remotely During COVID-19, and Concerning Removal of Liens on the Property of Public Assistance Beneficiaries.
The ACLU-CT is an organization that demands justice for formerly incarcerated people by removing legal barriers that prevent people from building successful, stable lives after leaving incarceration. One such barrier is carceral liens.
