The Senate Judiciary Committee considered Senate Bill 24 (SB24), a measure to remove a duty-to-retreat in many self-defense cases (a "stand your ground" style change). Supporters argued it clarifies self‑defense law; opponents warned of increased violence and disparate impacts. The committee amended the bill and voted 5–2 to advance it out of committee.
