USE RTS ON THESE BILLS

EDUCATION

HB 2022 – OPPOSE – Would allow K-12 public and private schools to authorize employees to carry firearms on school grounds.  The specific employees carrying would remain confidential to both parents an police.  These employees would also have immunity from any liability during emergencies.

SB 1028 – OPPOSE – Would reinstate statewide testing to graduate from high school.  This was overwhelmingly repealed in 2015 by Republicans.  At that time it was determined such a requirement was without merit and placed the responsibility and stress on individual students for the success of their education.  Other states have repealed similar requirements.

VOTING RIGHTS

SB 1011 – OPPOSE – Would ban voters from dropping off their early ballots after 7PM on the Friday before election day beginning in 2026.  Voters would have to instead void their early ballots, present ID, sign a scary affidavit warning of felony jail time and vote a new ballot In person.  Polls show that 85% of voters oppose this proposal.
