Petition Police Reform

School Gang Gag Bill

In a rushed process, the radical leftists in the legislature rammed through a Policing Reform bill without a hearing and are now going to vote on it after the elections when they cannot be held accountable for their actions.

SB 2963 is the culmination of a conference committee that hammered out a compromise between the House and Senate versions passed earlier this year.

The fact that a vital piece of legislation that centers around police reform is being rushed through without a hearing is bad enough but, alarmingly, there is a section of the bill that prohibits school officials from reporting to any law enforcement authority whatsoever that a student is a member of a gang!

If a principal, superintendent, or school resource officer discovers that a student is a member of MS-13, they would be prohibited from alerting any law enforcement authority by any means including a verbal conversation.

SB 2963, reads, “School department personnel shall not disclose to a law enforcement officer or agency . . . suspected gang affiliation, unless it is germane to a specific unlawful incident or to a specific prospect of unlawful activity.”

In other words, gangs can go about their business in a school setting potentially recruiting members and secretly planning their crimes without law enforcement even knowing they exist. Only if they already committed a crime, in which case it is too late, or if a planned crime is somehow “let out of the bag,” will law enforcement be notified.

S 2963 also allows complaints to be filed against police if their activities show bias against someone’s immigration status. Under this bill, police will be much more reluctant to act against criminal illegal immigrants just because they are illegal immigrants.

This endangers the public safety and is very close to a Sanctuary State bill.

SB 2963 should be defeated.

Dear Senator and Representative,

I'm writing to ask you to oppose the $1 million smear campaign against Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs) found in HB 5034/SB 3030.

Specifically line 1599-6072 in Section 2 of HB 5034/SB3030 contains this text:

"provided further, that not less than $1,000,000 shall be expended for a public awareness campaign to educate providers and the public about so called crisis pregnancy centers and pregnancy resource centers and their lack of medical services; provided further, that said campaign shall include information on the availability of providers across the commonwealth that provide legitimate medical and family planning services."

Pregnancy Resource Centers are invaluable charitable resources for women in our communities. PRCs vary in the services they offer. Some only provide counseling to women who may be or are pregnant. Others, however, offer medical services ranging from pregnancy testing to ultra-sounds to confirm a pregnancy.

Nearly all have "baby boutiques" that are run by volunteers to provide new baby care items such as diapers, baby clothes, car seats, and more. These items are either purchased new or donated by people in the community.

To spend a minimum of $1 million in taxpayer money on a "public awareness campaign" against pregnancy resource centers and their alleged "lack of medical services" is just simply wrong.

It's dishonest to say that all pregnancy resource centers do not offer medical services because some do. Furthermore, all pregnancy resource centers extend a warm hand help to women who are often in difficult situations.

This amounts to a smear campaign against a valuable community resource for women.

I ask you to please reject HB 5034/SB 3030, Section 2, line 1599-6072.
