[Support] HB 2025 - Protections Against Unauthorized Surveillance

We support HB 2025 as a positive step to protect Kansans from unwarranted surveillance and invasions of privacy, because government surveillance and monitoring by Kansas law enforcement agencies has the potential to erode Kansans’ First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment Rights.

[Support] HB 2226 - Expungement for Certain Criminal Convictions

HB 2226 offers much needed reform that will have tremendous benefits for people that have touched the criminal legal system by removing unnecessary barriers to reentry. The ACLU not only supports expungement, but views this legislation as a critical tool for increasing public safety.

[Support] SB 105 - Prohibiting Denial of Expungement Due to Inability to Pay

This bill is a positive step forward because it allows a person’s sentence to be deemed completed and eligible for expungement regardless if the person still owes fines, fees, or restitution. This bill requires the court to prohibit the denial of expungement for inability to pay…

[Support] SB 7 - Extending Terminal Medical Release to Inmates

We support SB 7 as a positive step in ongoing criminal justice reform efforts in Kansas. This bill is sound policy because it affirms that terminally ill people no longer pose a public safety risk. Releasing people within 120 days of death is humane as those individuals are clearly very sick.

[Support] HB 2030 - Extending Terminal Medical Release to Inmates

We support HB 2030 as it represents a positive step in ongoing criminal justice reform efforts in Kansas. This bill could impact the aging population of our prisons. An estimated 19% of the Kansas prison population is age 50 or older.

[Support] HB 2192 - Certification of Identification for Driver’s License

We support HB 2192 as a positive step toward giving Kansans on probation the tools and resources necessary for success. Simply lacking the requisite documents to get a valid driver’s license should not be a roadblock to successfully completing probation in Kansas.

[Support] HB 2147 - Early Release for Certain Drug Offenders

We support HB 2147 as a positive step toward a more just and equitable criminal legal system. Although we support the bill as written, we offer a few amendments to strengthen the bill’s impact on low income and minority communities in Kansas…

[Oppose] HB 2078 - Suspension of Statutory Speedy Trial

This bill is an affront to the constitutional rights of all Kansans. The right to a speedy trial is in our state and federal constitutions. It will likely result in significant costs to residents and the state. The costs associated with electronic monitoring and supervision will explode.

[Oppose] SB 305 - Automatic License Plate Reader Policies

The implementation of automatic license plate readers (ALPR) poses serious privacy and other civil liberties threats. More and more cameras, longer retention periods, and widespread sharing allow law enforcement agents to assemble the individual puzzle pieces of where we have been over time…
