This video analyzes Tennessee House Bill 1971, which significantly restricts citizens' ability to sue the state government over the constitutionality of laws. The legislation, a companion to SB 1958, repeals a 2018 law that allowed such challenges and replaces it with language that permits lawsuits against political subdivisions (cities, counties, districts) but explicitly prohibits challenges to state statutes. The speaker urges citizens to contact the governor to veto the bill, highlighting that bad legislation can originate from any political aisle.
Indiana has enacted HB 1235, a law that significantly alters the landscape of lawsuits against firearm manufacturers. This legislation, signed by Governor Eric Holcomb, prohibits political subdivisions (like cities) from suing gun manufacturers, distributors, sellers, or trade associations. Only the state's Attorney General's office can now initiate such litigation, effectively neutralizing a strategy used by gun control groups to target the firearms industry through local ordinances and lawsuits.
