Oppose HB 12, HB 18, HB 183, HB 623* and HB 875. These bills:
· Creates mistrust and hurts relationships between local police and neighborhoods, undermining public safety and community cooperation.
· Creates unfunded mandates on police and sheriffs departments and diverts their personnel away from public safety enforcement.
· Will add to the Texas jail-overcrowding crisis in urban counties, imposing needless new expenses on county jails and taxpayers.
· Takes local control away from trusted law enforcement leaders who know their communities needs best and would rather concentrate on public safety.
*HB 623 – We oppose HB 623 because these changes would hurt the Texas economy, by preventing many qualified Texas students from going to college, and prohibiting many qualified Texans from contributing their training and skills to our economy. HB 623 would also undermine public safety by discouraging many law-abiding crime victims and witnesses from helping the police and by diverting limited police resources away from public safety enforcement and into enforcement of federal immigration laws.
*Support HB 603.
This bill helps police solve & prevent crimes, keeping Texans safe
