This is what we need in Wisconsin to keep the Soglins of the state at bay.
Here's the summary:

I haven't found the actual text of the bill yet but here's a quote from the summary.

ETA: Text is under "bill text" with clickable links that I was too blind to see.

Howdy Amigo!
I've only checked out that summary included in your post, but that sounds like a dynamic and powerful piece of legislation in defense of the rights of citizens. (for a change)

I hope folks in every state get a copy of that summary to their legilsators and demand similar legislation in every state in the union. Even Illinois!

Blessings,
