CRIMINAL COMPETENCY

If passed, a judge would need to tell the local district ​attorney to consider beginning the process for forced ​hospitalization, if someone is found “incompetent”. People ​previously or currently charged with serious crimes, gun-​related offenses, or who have been found “incompetent” ​twice in the last year would automatically be held in a ​secure mental health facility for up to a week while the ​court prepares for a longer commitment process.

This bill creates harm

not community safety

CIVIL COMMITMENT BILL

If passed, this will expand the definition of “harm ​to self” and “harm to others” as criteria for civil ​commitment aka forced hospitalization!

This bill lacks ethical, legal, or ​scientific support.

HARSHER PENALTIES FOR ​PEOPLE CONVICTED OF FELONIES

If passed, it increases the penalty for people convicted of ​felonies in possession of a firearm from three years to a ​mandatory nine years. For those with a previous felony ​conviction for a “serious” violent offense, the sentence ​would be raised from six years to twelve years.

This bill is excessive and cruel.

ROADWAY ”SAFETY” BILL

If passed, it will prohibit pedestrians from occupyi​ng medians less than 3 feet wide on roads with a speed lim​it of 30 mph or more. The violation is a petty misdemean​or resulting in a fine up to $500 and/or six months in jail​.

This bill targets panhandlers ​and criminalizes poverty.
