2016 Legislative Tracking
2016 Legislative Tracking: Equality for All
Oppose
SB2237 - Would keep secret those involved in executions, including the execution team, lethal injection drug providers.
We oppose SB2237 as it deprives a citizen of the meaningful due process rights guaranteed by the constitution.
HB647: Provides that anyone who fails to pay a fine or appear in municipal court shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
We oppose HB647 because it completely ignores the spotlight that has been cast on modern-day debtors’ prisons within our state, at best.
HB 1399 - Requires municipal governments to provide police officers with body-worn cameras, requires police officers to wear cameras while on patrol, and makes an officer’s failure to wear the camera a misdemeanor offense.
The ACLU recognizes the potential that police body cameras have to increase police transparency.
