‘Stop Mitch Kahle’ Bill to be Heard

By /
The House version of a bill that aims to punish “disorderly or contemptuous behavior at the Legislature” — aka the “Mitch Kahle bill” —  will be heard before House Legislative Management at 1:30 p.m. in Conference Room 423.

A proposed new draft of the bill drops earlier language that called for an offense for showing disrespect to the House or Senate.

The new draft also calls for an unspecified fine or 30-days imprisonment.
