Legislation
Every year, CARA sponsors and takes positions on several bills. We prioritize bills that will directly impact our members and communities.
Bill Positions are taken through a majority vote by our legislative committee, which is open to any individual members or members from an organization that has paid their yearly affiliation dues.
