This bill erodes one of the most fundamental protections in our justice systemβthe right to be judged by a jury of oneβs peers. A penalty of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine is not trivial, and citizens facing the loss of their liberty should not have that decision placed solely in the hands of a single judge. When government seeks to punish someone with jail time, the safeguard of a jury trial should remain intact.ο»Ώο»Ώ

This proposal effectively eliminates one-party consent for in-person recordings, making it more difficult for individuals to document conversations where misconduct or disputes may arise. Requiring advance disclosure in all cases may deter the preservation of critical evidence, particularly in situations involving power imbalances or potential wrongdoing. Laws should protect privacy without undermining the ability to document and prove misconduct.

This measure allows the executive branch to initiate removal proceedings against judges and prosecutorsβboth of whom are elected officialsβraising serious concerns about political influence and separation of powers. It further places the Senate, a political body, in a central role in suspension and removal, increasing the risk that these decisions become driven by politics.
NO BOND for a person CONVICTED of an AGGRAVATED CRIME against a MINOR is a simple, straightforward, common sense measure.
