82ND LEGISlATURE CIVIl LIBERTIES INDEX
The recent legislative session was one of the more contentious in state history. We were ever vigilant to protect the Constitution from incessant attack. Now that the dust has cleared, we’ve tracked the votes of state senators and representatives on 10 ACLU of Texas priority bills.

Bills
Bills We Supported That Passed
Anti-SLAPP BilL (HB 2973): safeguards individuals against frivolous lawsuits that quell free speech rights. The Corporal Punishment, Ticketing, and Use of Force Reporting Bill (HB 359): addresses three separate school discipline issues. First, it grants parents the power to determine if their children can be subjected to corporal punishment at school. Second, it prohibits children in sixth grade and under from being charged with Class C misdemeanors for childish misbehavior such as chewing gum in class. Third, it ensures that school peace officers report use of restraints on special education students. Anti-Bullying Bill (HB 1942): addresses the issue of bullying in Texas’ public schools by requiring school district policies to include a procedure for reporting, investigating, and responding to instances of bullying on their campuses. Record Sealing Bill (HB 961): helps youth and young adults to move past childhood mistakes by lowering the age at which individuals can have their juvenile records sealed and/or restricted. Asset Forfeiture Bill (SB 316): reforms the way that asset forfeiture laws can be used. In the past, asset forfeiture laws were abused by some law enforcement to intimidate individuals (disproportionately African Americans) into relinquishing personal property to avoid being arrested and put in jail. Truancy Bill (SB 1489): aims to reduce the number of youth and adults sent into the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems for truancy. In 2009 alone there were approximately 120,000 Class C misdemeanor charges filed against Texas students for failure to attend school, a 40 percent increase since 2005.
We Opposed That Passed
Sexting Bill (SB 407): creates a new crime for youth who send naked images to friends or classmates (sexting). It is conservatively estimated that 20 percent of youth have engaged in sexting. Sending these youth into the criminal justice system will fail to address the root behavior and also saddle them with the short- and long-term consequences of a criminal record. Instead, we should focus on real solutions, such as educating youth about the lasting impact of sharing private images over the Internet. Sonogram Bill (HB 15): forces a woman to go through an invasive sonogram procedure prior to undergoing an abortion. This intrudes on the doctor-patient relationship by replacing personal medical decisions made in consultation with a doctor with one-size–fits-all requirement created by politically motivated legislators. Voter ID Bill (SB 14): requires voters to present state-issued identification at the polls to vote. This law will create roadblocks to voting in our state despite already very low voter turnout. Furthermore, this new law is a solution in search of a problem. There is no evidence of voter fraud at the polls in Texas.
Bills We Opposed That Did Not Pass
Sanctuary City Bill (HB 12): related to the enforcement of federal immigration laws by certain state entities. This anti-immigrant bill would have encouraged racial profiling, undermined public safety, and wasted scarce tax dollars.

The listing that follows tracks legislators’ support of civil liberties during the 82nd legislative session. We had zero opposition from all senators and representatives on four bills: the Anti-SLAPP Bill; the Record Sealing Bill; the Asset Forfeiture Bill; and the Truancy Bill. How’s that for success? The Sexting Bill, well-intentioned but going too far had unanimous support from both houses. The solution to this problem doesn’t require extreme measures such as this. Check out the table to see where your representatives stand in the fight for civil liberties! Not happy with what you find? Let them know that you are an informed citizen and keeping an eye on their votes. This table is divided by members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and is organized by last name.
