Fiscal Issues
Mark Nelson
The OCDLA Legislative Committee, with the help of one full-time susbstantive issues lobbyist and one fiscal issues lobbyist, works to draft and promote legislation beneficial to the criminal justice system and to protect the constitutional and statutory rights of those accused of crime.
The committee opposes legislation that would erode an individual’s constitutional rights and legislation that creates penalties that fall unequally upon those subjected to them.
The committee also works to secure adequate funding for the public defense
function and to raise the quality of both juvenile and adult representation.
