Andrew's Voice, Inc.

Registered Principal Details

Business Or Interest:
Andrew's Voice, Inc. does not have members. Initial funding was received from over 100 individual donors. The organization does not represent, and is not funded by, any industry, trade, profession or other group.

Lobbying Interests:
The organization will seek to reform state legislation affecting the rights of persons subject to involuntary civil commitment. These rights are primarily governed by Chapter 51 of the Wisconsin Statutes; however, there may be other legislative efforts that collaterally impact the population that Andrew's Voice seeks to represent. For example, the organization will lobby in favor of proposed amendment of Wisconsin's expungement statute; the organization may also support mandatory mental health courts in every county.

Comments
My son, Andrew, died last January. I believe he would be alive today if this bill had been law. He was saddled with a felony conviction for being a drug addict--for possession of a small amount of heroin. This robbed him of his future.
