Rep. Larry Clark introduced the bill.
Immigration attorney Daniel Alvarez, LMPD Officer Tulio Tourinho, UK Student Fredy Encarnacion, and recent UofL graduate Sagar Patagundi testified on behalf of the bill.
The committee showed a lot of interest in the proposal, and we plan to continue to organize around this effort in the interim. In the meantime, call your representatives on the legislative hotline at 800-372-7181, let them know you support HB 267, and encourage them to continue working on it in the next legislative session.
