Excerpt from the Sacramento Bee

Democratic state Sens. Susan Rubio, D-Baldwin Park, and Angelique Ashby, D-Sacramento, were joined by Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, R-Santee, on Tuesday morning to emphasize the importance of bipartisan public safety bills.

“I’m really thankful for us coming together and making sure that public safety is not a political issue,” Rubio said. “It’s a human issue and it’s a community issue." Each senator presented a bill related to different areas of public safety.

Senate Bill 19, introduced by Rubio, makes it possible to prosecute people who make credible threats against schools and places of worship even when no specific person is named. Rubio called the bill a preventative measure that would ensure action can be taken before it is too late.
