Overbroad HB 47 Passes Judiciary I Committee
|
HB 47,
"Violate Order/Possess Deadly Weapon Felony," has
passed the House Judiciary I committee and is now
headed to the House Appropriations I committee. Act
now.
HB 47 is a bill to make it a felony for a defendant
under a domestic violence restraining order to possess
a deadly weapon while violating said Domestic Voilence
restraining order. GRNC does not support domestic
violence abusers subject to restraining orders that
stalk their victims while carrying deadly weapons.
However, in the current language "possession" and
"deadly weapon" can be broadly interpreted. GRNC
believes we need to oppose the bill in its current
form.
Immediate Action Required:
Use our auto-emailer to contact members of the House
Appropriations I Committee. Give them this message:

Dear Representative:
Domestic violence abusers under 50B restraining orders
should not violate the restraining order, let alone
stalk their victims while carrying deadly weapons.
However, HB 47 is written with language that is too
broad. The definitions of deadly weapon and possession
need substantial redefinition before it might become
acceptable.
Sincerely,
A concerned North Carolina voter. |
