SB2575 is moving, and we need your voice.
This bill goes too far and creates harsh, unnecessary penalties that will impact law-abiding citizens.
Why we oppose SB2575:
• Expands firearm penalties based on mere alcohol “consumption” — not actual impairment.
• Punishishes individuals who use legally prescribed medications for chronic medical conditions.
• Upgrades some violations to a Class A felony — typically reserved for the most serious crimes.
• Attaches a mandatory 20-year sentence, removing judicial discretion and potentially making convictions less likely.
• Targets status rather than actual dangerous conduct.
We support punishing reckless and violent behavior — but this bill overreaches and creates disproportionate penalties that do not improve public safety.
Please submit testimony in opposition before the March 3rd hearing.
Make your voice heard.
