This week’s tracker includes a look at a legislator getting expelled.

Weekly highlight

Last week, three states began their legislative sessions. Here is a brief look at issues making headlines across the country:

  • Colorado: Republican state legislators in Colorado are working to repeal controversial new laws passed in the wake of mass shootings at a movie theatre and elementary school last year. Senate Democrats this week shot down an attempt by Republican lawmakers to reverse a new bill expanding background check requirements on the sale of firearms. According to Republicans who backed the repeal effort, there has not been enough evidence that the new gun control laws improve public safety. Conservative lawmakers have also argued that the laws infringe on the constitutional rights of Colorado citizens. Democrats, on the other hand, argued that the number of background checks and denials calculated since the new laws took effect prove that they are working. According to reports by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, there have been more than 6,000 background checks conducted in that time frame, with roughly 100 denials in the first six months. Jennifer Hope, leader of the Colorado chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, applauded the Democrats' efforts. "If only one person convicted of assault or domestic violence is prevented from getting a gun because of this law then our state is that much safer," she said. National Rifle Association lobbyist Daniel Carey had a different take on the laws. "Really, it only unnecessarily burdens law-abiding citizens," he said. Sen. George Rivera (R), who sponsored the repeal bill that was defeated after a six-hour hearing in the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Monday had similar thoughts about the new laws. “They place unreasonable burden on law-abiding Coloradans, criminalizing commonplace activities like lending a hunting rifle to a friend,” he said. Despite the defeat, Republicans have another repeal bill in the works that would undo a 2013 law limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds.[1][2][3][4]
  • Massachusetts: The Massachusetts House of Representatives expelled its first member in nearly a century. Fifth Suffolk Rep. Carlos Henriquez (D), who is currently serving a six-month sentence in a house of correction, was voted out of the House 146-5 last Thursday following an hour and a half of debate. Henriquez was convicted in January of two misdemeanor charges of assault and battery on a woman he dated in July 2012. Henriquez has continued to profess his innocence, even speaking on the House floor for six minutes prior to his expulsion. The embattled representative's proponents included Rep. Russell Holmes (D), who put forward an amendment to limit Henriquez's punishment to censure, which was widely rejected; and the New England NAACP, which urged lawmakers not to vote to expel, arguing that Henriquez is still popular and that House rules do not allow for expulsion because of misdemeanor convictions. Earlier last week, the Ethics Committee voted unanimously to recommend Henriquez's expulsion, saying in its report that by virtue of being imprisoned and asking for a six-month leave from the House, Henriquez's "independence of judgment" is impaired, violating a House rule. Henriquez's expulsion is the first in the House since 1916, when Harry Foster was thrown out due to a conflict of interest, and the first in the General Court since 1977, when Joseph DiCarlo was removed amidst a bribery scandal.[5][6][7][8][9]
  • South Carolina: Last week, the South Carolina House of Representatives passed House Bill 4384, which would require all mopeds sold in the state to be equipped with a tail light that continually flashes and would also require moped drivers to wear a reflective vest at all times. The legislation would also make it illegal for moped drives to drive on roads where the speed limit exceeds 45 mph. HB 4384 passed in the House by a vote of 76 to 40. Moped drivers caught violating the bill would be charged with a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, would face up to a $200 fine or up to 30 days in jail. Rep. Bill Whitmire (R) of District 1 said that he proposed HB 4384 after he almost hit a moped that was going 30 mph on a 55 mph four-lane highway. Whitmire says the new legislation is nothing more than a bill to improve public safety. Bill Boggs, a co-owner of BJ's Scooter Rentals in Myrtle Beach and an opponent to the new legislation, said that it would be safer for the state's drivers if the legislature allowed mopeds to go faster than the current speed limit of 25 mph. Other opponents of the legislation point out that the people that have mopeds cannot usually afford a vehicle, and the new legislation will cut off many of the streets that they use to go to work, school and the grocery store. The bill will now be sent to the Senate for approval.[10][11][12][13]
  • Washington: The Washington State Senate passed a bill this week that would open up funding for students in the state who were brought to the United States as children and do not have legal status. Now known as the Real Hope Act, the measure adds $5 million to the State Need Grant program, which gives financial aid for college to those brought to the U.S. as minors by their guardians. The bill was sponsored by Sens Barbara Bailey (R), Steve Litzow (R), Joe Fain (R), Rodney Tom (D), Andy Hill (R) and Bruce Dammeier (R). The Washington House of Representatives passed a very similar measure on the first day of its legislative session: the Washington Dream Act, House Bill 1417. At least 18 states across the country have passed or are considering measures to make college more affordable for undocumented students, including allowing these students to pay in-state tuition, as long as they can prove residence in that state for several years prior. Governor Jay Inslee (D) is expected to sign the measure into law, once the house brings the senate's bill to their floor.[14][15][16][17][18]

See also: Alabama state legislative special elections, 2014

Mike Holmes, Jimmy Collier, Michael Griggs and Frank Bertarelli faced off in the Republican primary.[41][42] As no candidate received more than fifty percent of the vote, the top-two vote-getters - Holmes and Collier - met in the Republican primary runoff on February 4, which Holmes won.[43][44]

A special election for the position of Alabama House of Representatives District 31 was initially called for January 28, with a primary on December 3, 2013. Because no Democratic candidate filed to run, the Republican primary runoff became the special election. Candidates from both major parties had until October 10, 2013, to file certified nomination papers with the Secretary of State.[45] Due to inclement weather, the election was pushed back a week to February 4.[46]
