HB 426 is the house version of the SB 297 Blanket Ban. Oppose this now!

Essentially this is the House Version of SB 297, which sought to ban registrants from being within 500 feet of schools for any reason. The same argument against SB 297 applies here as well. So if you wrote something opposing SB 297, feel free to use it here. After all, this is Same crap, different assholes.

This time it is going before the House Judiciary Committee.

Here are the House Judiciary Committee emails:
