LB226, (see previous post here) advanced from Select File (2nd reading) and is awaiting final reading. It has been amended twice. One revision makes it somewhat less draconian than the original bill, drafted by homophobic Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning and introduced by Grand Island Senator Mike Gloor.
It now applies to, as well as public safety officers, "an employee of the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center-Geneva or the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Center-Kearney"
The following language in Section 2:
5 Sec. 2. (1) Any person who knowingly and intentionally
6 strikes any public safety officer with any bodily fluid or who
7 throws, propels, expels, or emits any bodily fluid in the direction
8 of any public safety officer, is guilty of assault with a bodily
9 fluid against a public safety officer.
has been changed to:
7 Sec. 2. (1) Any person who knowingly and intentionally
8 strikes any public safety officer with any bodily fluid is guilty
9 of assault with a bodily fluid against a public safety officer.
Neither a roll call or record vote was taken on second reading, so Aksarbent can't tell you who voted for this bill and who didn't. There were 35 ayes, 5 nays, 6 present and not voting, and 3 excused and not voting.
