Tenure

[edit]

Handy joined the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee in his first term.[6] The JFAC is considered a "powerful legislative committee" since it "sets each element of the state budget."[7]

Handy cosponsored the “Clean Slate Act,” which would allow criminal records to be sealed in the case of some minor, non-violent offenses.[8]
