Washington State Committee Passes Three Year Ban on Facial Recognition | | Tenth Amendment Center Blog

OLYMPIA, Wash. (Feb. 6, 2020) – On Tuesday, a House committee approved a bill to put a three-year ban, or moratorium, on the use of facial recognition for surveillance or any other purposes by the state and its political subdivisions. Passage into law would represent an important first step towards protecting privacy and rejecting the national surveillance state.

A coalition of three Democrats introduced House Bill 2856 (HB2856) on Jan. 27. The legislation would put a three year ban on the use of facial recognition by government in Washington State. If passed into law, state and local government agencies would be prohibited from “obtaining, retaining, requesting, accessing, or using any facial recognition technology or any information obtained from or by use of facial recognition technology.”


Wyoming Bill Would Ban Unconstitutional National Guard Deployments | | Tenth Amendment Center Blog

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Feb. 5, 2020) – A bill prefiled in the Wyoming House would prohibit unconstitutional foreign combat deployments of the state’s national guard troops, effectively restoring the founders’ framework for state-federal balance on the Guard.

Rep. Tyler Lindholm, (R-Crook), along with a bipartisan coalition of 14 representatives and senators filed House Bill 98 (HB98) on Feb. 4. The legislation would only allow the release of Wyoming National Guard units into active combat duty if there was a congressional declaration of war. Under the proposed law, “active duty combat” means performing the following services in the active federal service of the United States:

• Participation in an armed conflict;
• Performance of a hazardous service in a foreign state; or
• Performance of a duty through an instrumentality of war.

Oklahoma Bill Would Create Process to Review and Reject Unconstitutional Federal Acts | | Tenth Amendment Center Blog

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Feb. 4, 2020) – A bill filed in the Oklahoma Senate would create a mechanism to review federal laws and end state cooperation with enforcement of those determined to violate the U.S. Constitution. This process would set the stage to help end the enforcement of some federal laws and acts in the Sooner State.

Rep. Nathan Dahm (R-Broken Arrow) filed Senate Bill 1477 (SB1477). Titled The Oklahoma Sovereignty Act, the legislation would create a permanent joint legislative committee to review the constitutionality of federal laws; agency rules policies and standards; executive orders, federal court decisions, and treaties. The bill includes criteria that the committee must follow when evaluating the constitutionality of an act.

Kansas Bill Would Expand Raw Milk Market; Foundation to Nullify Federal Prohibition Scheme | | Tenth Amendment Center Blog

TOPEKA, Kan. (Feb 3, 2020) – A bill introduced in the Kansas Senate would help expand the market for raw milk in the state and take a step toward nullifying a federal prohibition scheme in effect.

The Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee introduced Senate Bill 308 (SB308) on Jan. 23. Under current Kansas law, on-farm sales of raw milk and raw milk products are allowed but there are strict limits on the promotion of the product. SB308 would lift the restrictions on the promotion of raw milk and allow producers to advertise their products.

SB308 would also add goat milk to the definition of raw milk under the law.

Passage of SB308 would not only take another step toward opening up the raw milk market in Kansas; it would also move forward efforts to nullify a federal raw milk prohibition scheme.

Permission not Required: "Open Carry" Bill Pending in South Carolina House | | Tenth Amendment Center Blog

COLUMBIA, S.C. (Feb 2, 2020) – A bill filed in the South Carolina House would make it legal for South Carolinians to open carry firearms, fostering an environment hostile to federal gun control.

Representative Jonathon D. Hill (R-Townville) and nine cosponsors filed House Bill 3456 (H.3456) last January, and is up for consideration in the two-year legislative session. The legislation would amend sections of the state law allowing people to carry without a permit, leaving the prohibition only for those who are not legally allowed to own a weapon. The bill would also remove some restrictions on open carry. The state would still issue concealed carry permits for those wishing to travel to states with CCDW permit reciprocity.

The site South Carolina Carry describes H.3456 as follows: “While the bill is a long ways from eliminating all restrictions on the carrying of firearms, it is a step in the right direction without giving up firearm liberties.

It was referred to the Senate Committee on Judiciary but did not garner a public hearing in 2019. Since its introduction, 15 additional cosponsors signed on to the bill.

When you walk out into the public arena, you actually can't expect privacy.

The title of the thread was the 10th amendment at work.

From my perspective, the 10th amendment has largely been ignored by both sides.

For a time, there was a push to get state legislatures to pass a "Tenth Amendment Resloution" which only acknowledged the amendment.

Even that had a hard time in many red states.

That effort seems to have passed (it was more active around 2010.

I do recall the right using it as an argument against the ACA. But this was only after a lot of other arguments had been put forth.

I would have thought it would have been the first argument presented.

I wonder where conservatives are in trying to reinvigorate this critical part of our constitutional structure.
