I'm of two minds about reporting this sort of thing.

On one hand, it's a fucking joke. State legislators can submit any damned bill they please. Shit like this has 0% of even coming to a vote. It's performative for the hometown voters.

OTOH, heysus christos, this is batshit insane and should see the light of day.
