Sponsored Ranked Bills
This legislator was the sponsor of the following bills, which were ranked by Libertas Institute in their respective year's Legislator Index.
- SB57: Police Service Animal Amendments (2018)
This bill made it a 2nd degree felony to kill a police service animal. This increased penalty is unnecessarily punitive and will not act as any sort of improved deterrent to dissuade a person from harming a law enforcement officer's dog.
This bill passed the Senate 20-6 and passed the House 43-24. Libertas supports a "nay" vote.
