Threatening Public Safety by Implementing Dangerous Criminal Justice "Reforms" Including "Raise the Age" and Expanding Expungement Opportunities.

Against DEMs
This omnibus bill contains numerous provisions which change criminal law. However, some of the bill''s key provisions surround substantial changes around expungement and the trial of juveniles. For example, the bill significantly shortens the amount of time that must past to have a record expunged to 18 months instead of the previous 3-year requirement. The number of offenses that may be expunged per individual is increased from two misdemeanors to three misdemeanors, and from one felony offense to two felony offenses. Additionally, the bill contains a "raise the age" provision which loosens penalties for felony offenses committed by a juvenile by increases the age from 12 to 14 in which they may be tried in an adult court. The bill does contain some positive provisions that create new drug-related crimes and increase sentencing standards for persistent violent offenders, however this bill incorporates many so-called criminal justice "reforms" which have led to skyrocketing crime rates and are being advanced in state legislatures by George Soros and other radical-left billionaires.

SB 756Senate 20241x

Increasing Property Tax Burdens by Expanding a "Freeze" for Seniors which Merely Shifts Burdens onto other Property Owners and Masks Underlying Spending Problems.

Providing a property tax freeze for one set of individuals inevitably results in tax burdens being shifted to other property owners not favored by government. Additionally, this bill merely masks the underlying cause for rapidly rising property taxes - out of control government spending. Oppose is The Club For Growth Foundation''s position.
SB 802Senate 20241x

Support is The Club For Growth Foundation''s position.
