Rep. Yusuf Hakeem (D) came to the GA in 2019. He is a Member, Calendar and Rules Committee, Education Administration Committee, Health Committee, and the Higher Education Subcommittee. He supported seven TLRC-favored bills, while voting against twenty-two of them, which accounts for his 29% vote score. On constitutional issues, Hakeem seems to misunderstand the principles that our founders put in place to secure liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. Hakeem is articulate and unafraid to speak his mind. His comments and votes are generally in line with his democrat colleagues, which seems to be a party characteristic.
Hakeem supported:
SB0115/HB0116 – Garrett/Haile – Human/sex traffickers often transport groups of victims in trucks. Under this law commercial driver’s license (CDL) will be denied for life for those convicted of human/sex trafficking (passed).
SB0240/HB1049 – C. Sexton/Gardenhire – Transparency bill: requires a comptroller audit of government entities whose books are not open to public (passed).
SB0474/HB0855 – Powers/Powers – All businesses are essential in emergencies, no discrimination allowed (passed).
SB0717/HB1047 – C. Sexton/McNally – No probation or parole for child sex abusers (passed).
SB1034/HB1513 – Cochran/Bell – Creates a database for approved supplemental material for teachers. This makes clear the distinction between acceptable instructional material and that which is prohibited, making it easier for teachers to comply with the new laws prohibiting certain material (passed).
SB1115/HB1302 – White/Bricken – Removes the Statute of Limitations for those convicted of sex trafficking children (passed).
SB1573/HB37 – Bailey/Ogles – State or local government prohibited from designating essential or non-essential businesses (passed).
TLRC is happy that there were some things on which we agreed.
