ROLC Celebrates CT Senate Legislation Abolishing Prison Gerrymandering
The Peter Gruber Rule of Law Clinic at Yale Law School celebrated the historic and bipartisan passage of legislation to abolish prison gerrymandering by the Connecticut State Senate on May 5, 2021. The clinic has worked for months representing the Connecticut State Conference of the NAACP (NAACP CT) and the ACLU of Connecticut (ACLU CT) in efforts to end the practice through the passage of new legislation.
The Senate passed the legislation, S.B. 753, by a near unanimous vote of 35-1. The bill now awaits action by the House, where Speaker Matt Ritter will determine whether and when to bring S.B. 753 to a floor vote.
