The CA Senate Public Safety Committee will consider Assembly Bill (AB) 1568 on Tuesday, June 16. The hearing will be held in the State Capitol, Room 112, starting at 8:30 a.m. If passed, this bill would block thousands of registrants who are otherwise eligible from filing a petition for removal from the registry.
“This hearing could be the last opportunity for registrants, family members and supporters to stop AB 1568,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci.
“Therefore, it is important for as many people as possible to attend this hearing on June 16.
“We must also call, write letters and email the Senate Public Safety Committee and each of its members by June 9 at 3:00 PM. When you call just say want to make a comment on a bill and say you oppose AB 1568.
“When you write, you can be more detailed. At the bottom of this page is a link to the letter of opposition sent by ACSOL to the Public Safety Committee you can use for ideas. Send your letters at least a few days before June 9 to make sure they get there by the deadline (they don’t count emails and letters received within a week of the hearing).
“Yes, it is more of an effort than usual to fight this bill, but it is so dangerous that we must invest our time to fight it or face the consequences.”

From the looks of it, Congress is trying to make laws abridging the rights of people to petition for redress of grievances.
