Rep. Dustin Burrows on Bill Requiring School Security, Local Preemption Bill

Published | Video Starts at 21:38

You know, if we're going to give you the opportunity to get damages, I think we have to be very cautious about that because we don't want people out there to do that. But If your right of action is only to, you know, have your rights restored or to have, you know, something unconstitutional struck down, and that would be through what's called the uniform declaratory judgment action, I think that's a very decent and reasonable method of trying to get those things to happen. And so in the example of the preemption bill, you could sue, and if you win, whatever regulation that is in place at the local level would be invalidated. Correct. (21:38–21:54)

CLAIM
