An Act to Improve the Laws Relating to Ethics and Lobbying
AIM takes the current ethics and lobbying laws very seriously and supports appropriate standards for lobbyists. We strive to satisfy both the letter of the law and spirit of those standards and support efforts to ensure that all lobbyists do the same. As a membership organization, however, we are greatly concerned about the changes to the definitions of lobbying and incidental lobbying and the chilling affect these changes will have on the democratic process.

An Act Relative to Consumer Protection Laws
AIM legislation requires those seeking product-liability damages to demonstrate that they have actually been harmed by the product. A fair body of laws impartially interpreted with decisions reached in a timely and predictable manner will contribute to a healthy civic and economic climate.

An Act Relative to Reforming the State's Product Liability System
Companies that make products are often targets of frivolous and resource-sapping lawsuits brought by parties looking for huge payoffs. AIM’s legislation reforms the state’s tort system by making available a state-of-the-art defense for manufacturers whose products meet all scientific standards at the time they were made.
