Special Legislative Alert
The Senate is taking action on the Public Safety and Judiciary Omnibus bill TODAY! This bill has been fraught with controversy as far-left activists continue to push extreme provisions into the legislation. This bill is about anything but public safety. It includes a wishlist of provisions that protect criminals and not law-abiding citizens.
Republicans have been shutout of the conference committee process as Democrats refused to name any members of the minority to the committee. Last week, with only 14 minutes notice before the hearing, both Red Flag Laws and Universal Background Checks were added to the bill. Democrats refused to discuss or take public testimony during the hearing. Making fundamental changes to your Second Amendment right with no regard for public input is shocking.
Democrats also removed a Republican provision from the bill that would ensure pedophiles were not considered a protected class under the Human Rights Act. They have replaced this provision with broad, vague language that could easily be exploited by a bad actor as a defense in court. Republicans have been shut out of good-faith efforts to work with Democrats to correct this issue.
This bill does nothing to hold violent criminals accountable. Instead of addressing the rise in criminal activity across our state, this bill prioritizes taking away the rights of law abiding gun owners and watering down our Human Rights Act.
