I see where the Infrastructure & Tourism Appropriations Subcommittee voted 14-0 in favor of HB 1085 today. It looks like the last stop is the Infrastructure Strategies Committee which should happen by next week. Anyone know if there are any more steps after that before the bill gets signed into law?

The louisiana law had offender or predator words on their license…
in florida, they are just going to change the lettering on the license to red…

In reply to B M. This legislation tries to do something different than what Louisiana did.

We need to break these chains and start counting backwards from “53” !!. I mean it’s like they keep putting nails in my coffin. “53” is getting to close to the end. It’s like I only have a small air hole to breathe through. That guy, the one that’s trying to make our licenses stand out more in red, why did he have to come up with this BS?. He must be getting a feather in his cap or something. We shouldn’t have to deal with it, but here we go again. We are to far ahead, as far as knowledge to what we got to do to be happy and free from all stigma and sanctions. The registry has got to be abolished!. We definitely don’t need ” 53 “!.. When is it going to stop?.

to JJJJ
And yet her slipping up and saying that makes no difference because the courts already knows every single item concerning the registry is punishment. But unless they state that and get it tossed, I guess it is not punishment because that judge is not being punished, we and our families are.
The judges can get under their covers at night and sleep like a baby knowing that they made a difference, For anyone that is NOT on the registry. Makes me sick that they are afraid to stand for what is right instead of what is popular and gets you re-elected.

In reply to Tim. Don’t forget the tax revenue since we will all be forced to go to the DMV and pay to have a new license.

I don’t understand how they can get away with this. Here in Louisiana, it was struck down as compelled speech to have it branded on the driver’s license, so they had to remove it entirely. The Supreme Court refused to hear any appeal. Why are other states still trying to get away with this knowing there is precedent for it to be struck down?

In reply to CherokeeJack. I agree 100% with you Cherokee. It’s a shame only one of them gets it enough to speak against it , and only one more seemed to understand and vote in our favor

This will be number 53,
Notice that one of the committee members says that people who have committed these crimes must expect this type of punishment?

Notice that he called it punishment?
But that is illegal! They cannot add punishment. – It violates the prohibition against Double Jeopardy.
