Why are gun bills being held again this year? The Stand Your Ground Shield Act (SB 1298) has been sitting in the Senate State Affairs Committee without a public hearing, denying citizens their right to participate in the legislative process.

SB 1298 addresses critical issues around self-defense laws that affect every citizen’s safety and legal rights. This legislation deserves transparent debate where constituents can voice their concerns, experts can provide testimony, and our elected officials can ask important questions. Yet the committee continues to stall, keeping this important bill from public scrutiny.

Why this matters: Every bill deserves a fair hearing. When committees refuse to hold public hearings, they silence your voice and undermine accountability. The public has a right to participate in the process through public testimony and transparent debate.

We’re asking the Senate State Affairs Committee to schedule an immediate public hearing for SB 1298. Join us in contacting the committee right away to ask for a scheduled hearing on SB 1298!
