A State Senator we wrote asking to file a bill to abolish the death penalty has filed a bill to abolish the death penalty. So, we have a senate sponsor of the bill to abolish the death penalty! You can read SB 516 by Senator Sarah Eckhardt of Austin here:
Thank you, Senator Eckhardt! We look forward to a first-time ever Senate committee hearing to completely abolish the death penalty. There has never been a committee hearing in the Senate on a bill to abolish the death penalty.
