State Legislature

According to the AJC on 3/11/2012 the following bills that affect our safety in one way or another are still alive.

HB 1176 – Would change the state’s approach to criminal sentencing in an attempt to control the prison population by sentencing non-violent offenders to alternative programs (such as drug courts).

SB 316 – Would extend the statute of limitations related to sex crimes against children.

SB 321 – Would make it harder to sell stolen metal – this is opposed by metal recyclers. The House has similar bills to consider.
