69th Citizens' Legislative Seminar

Senator Moore invites constituents to learn the legislative process

BOSTON – Sen. Richard T. Moore, D-Uxbridge, announced today that the 69th Citizens' Legislative Seminar (CLS) will be held this fall on Monday, October 15th and Tuesday, October 16th from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the State House.

“The Citizens’ Legislative Seminar is a unique opportunity to find out and discover the role of a Legislator, and the significant work that is realized by the Massachusetts Legislature,” said Sen. Moore. “I always enjoy participating in this respected seminar, as education of our state government and lawmaking procedures is indispensable for residents of the Commonwealth.”

The veteran legislator, who also serves as the Chairman of the Special Commission on Civic Engagement and Learning, encouraged any interested constituent to take advantage of this opportunity.

CLS is a citizen seminar that aims to better educate the public on the Commonwealth’s legislative process. Established in 1976 through a collaborative effort of the Massachusetts Senate and the University of Massachusetts, this two-day seminar features presentations by Senators and staff on aspects of the day-to-day experience of legislators in the Commonwealth. Topics will include the history and process of the Legislature, the parliamentary role of the Clerk of the Senate and the future of the Legislature.

The CLS culminates with a simulated legislative hearing and Senate session where participants are invited to use what they have learned and participate as “Senators” in the Senate Chamber in order to have a first-hand experience of the legislative process.

Any interested residents of the Worcester and Norfolk District are invited to contact Sean Riley in Sen. Moore’s State House Office at (617) 722-1420, or by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , to seek Sen. Moore’s nomination. Participation is on a first come, first serve basis.
