Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill would prevent people from being arrested for civil matters while they are going to, at, or returning from certain locations. These locations include court proceedings, schools, government buildings, public libraries, polling places, social service centers, places of worship, and healthcare facilities. There are exceptions for arrests made with a warrant, for contempt of court, or to maintain safety.
