Chair opened the April 23 House Judiciary Committee meeting and flagged a major development: the Ninth Circuit issued a ruling affecting laws like S.208. The chair said the ruling changes committee decision points and that members should hear expert testimony before deciding whether to proceed with statutory language or pursue a model policy via the Criminal Justice Council.
