Rep. Meeks Files Human Trafficking Act of 2013
Representative David Meeks has filed HB1203, the Human Trafficking Act of 2013.
The bill addresses human trafficking and illegal slavery. The bill improves and expands some of Arkansas’ existing laws, and creates a state task force to prevent human trafficking. It also provides additional protection for the victims of human trafficking, and allows them to seek damages through civil action.
If passed, this bill will do a lot of good protecting Arkansans and combating human trafficking.
Human Heartbeat Protection Act Passes Senate Committee
The Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act, sponsored by Sen. Jason Rapert, has passed the Senate Public Health Committee. If Rapert’s bill makes it through the entire legislative process, it will prevent abortion upon detection of a fetal heartbeat, except to save the life of the mother and in cases of rape or incest. Arkansas would then have the strongest pro-life law in the nation.
This bill will soon be considered by the full Arkansas Senate. Now is the time to call your state senator and ask him or her to support Sen. Rapert’s bill, the Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act.
The phone number for the Arkansas Senate is 501-682-2902. If you don’t know who your state senator is, we’d be happy to help out. Just give us a call at 501-375-7000.
