Doc Davis & Judy Haspel, REAL Committee

Description

The breakout sessions offer attendees the opportunity to leverage the collective experience of other regulators to examine how current social issues affect regulatory processes and result in change. The regulators leading each discussion topic will share specific examples of how their jurisdictions responded to the issues and engage participants in exploring alternatives for action in their own jurisdictions.

Topics

1. Criminal offenses that are no longer criminal
   Discussion leads: Joan Braun (BC) and James Chaney (WA)
2. Previous felony conviction and incarceration
   Discussion leads: Judy Haspel (LA) and Doc Davis (AZ), with input from Stephan Viehweg (IN) and Jennifer Wenhold (FL)

Learning Objectives

After completing this session, participants should be able to:

1. Identify a specific social issue that resulted in changes to regulation and/or a board process.
2. Identify strategies that regulators can use to bring a public protection perspective to their responses to social change.
3. Define the regulatory and procedural options available to boards faced with challenging social issues.
