The Goyke Report - Promises Kept |
|||
I am writing to alert you about three very important pieces of legislation that I authored which were recently signed into law.
1.) Sheriff Sale Reform 2.) Juvenile Justice and Corrections Reform 3.) Statewide Creation of Family Drug Treatment Courts
Since my election to the legislature I have worked with my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, on the details and merits of these legislative initiatives. I am excited to report that these are now law. A detailed breakdown of each piece of legislation is below and I welcome any feedback or questions you may have.
I'm proud of the relentless
commitment to these solutions.
All the best,
Rep. Goyke with legislative colleagues after AB 953 - The Juvenile Justice and Corrections Reform Bill was signed into law

"We want to make sure that individuals are not using sheriff sales as a money-making scheme while neglecting to pay the debt they owe to our city and to our state." - Rep. Evan Goyke Residents of the 18th Assembly District know the problems that come with foreclosed homes. These homes need new owners that will invest in our community. Far too often these vulnerable homes are purchased by bad actors and cause problems for nearby residents.
