Action Alert
The Senate is taking action on the Public Safety and Judiciary Omnibus bill?right now!
This bill has been controversial from the start as activists continue to push extreme provisions into law. This bill is about anything but public safety. It includes a wishlist of provisions that protect criminals, not law-abiding citizens.
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.
Democrats also removed a Republican amendment 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 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 and improve the overall bill.
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.
