====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== ***** ***** ***** ***** JOINT LEGISLATIVE NEWSFLASH UPDATE - April 24, 2007 From: Roy Hanson's Child and Family Protection Association and HSLDA ***** ***** ***** ***** Bill: AB 755 - Prohibition of Spanking Author: Assembly Member Sally Lieber Position: Strongly Oppose Status: In Assembly ***** ***** ***** ***** This is an UPDATE to our previous, April 11, 2007, Action Alert regarding Assembly Member Sally Lieber's "Prohibition of Spanking" bill, AB 755. AB 755 continues to move through the Legislature. AB 755 was amended and passed by the Assembly Public Safety Committee on April 17th. AB 755 is still a very dangerous bill for parents throughout California. AB 755 would have the practical effect of making a non-injurious spanking with an object such as a ruler, folded newspaper, paddle, etc. illegal. After being arrested, charged, and tried in a criminal court, parents could receive up to one year in jail and lose custody of their children. We updated our "AB 755 - Action Alert" and our 4-page backgrounder, "AB 755 - Updated Alert Supplement" on April 24, 2007. Both the Updated Alert and the Updated Alert Supplement are posted at http://www.childandfamilyprotection.org and http://www.hslda.org. These two documents are designed to help every concerned parent: 1) to understand this bill and its implications for every family in California and the nation, and 2) to be able to present the most effective reasons why such a bill should not be passed by the Legislature. AB 755 is an incremental step toward the outlawing of all spanking, which the author has publicly stated is her ultimate goal. We will be issuing another Action Alert by e-mail on AB 755 within the next several weeks, just before AB 755 is sent to the Assembly Floor for a full vote by every Assembly Member. We are continuing to monitor AB 755 daily, as we do with all legislation. ***** ***** ***** ***** Permission given to reprint or forward this Newsflash unaltered to your friends, church, school, and group. ***** ***** ***** ***** Roy Hanson's HELP Tree Child and Family Protection Association P.O.
