Mesa
Lawmakers
Take
Opposite
Stands On
Gender Bill |
"Saying they
are
protecting
women, House
Republicans
gave final
approval
April 3 to
legislation to
strictly
classify
individuals
under
Arizona law
on the basis
of their
biological
sex when
they were
born. SB
1628,
approved on
a party-line
31-28 vote,
would
replace
every
reference to
“gender’’ in
state law
with “sex.’’
The former
generally
refers to
how people
identify
themselves
versus the
latter which
would be
determined
by biology
at birth." [
. . . ] "Republican
Rep. Barbara
Parker of
Mesa reacted
to
criticisms,
like one by
Rep. Analise
Ortiz,
D-Phoenix,
who called
it “the
LGBTQ+
Erasure Act.’"
[ . . . ]"Parker
said this is
not about
discrimination." |

Republicans
Seek To
Exempt
Arizona
Legislature
From Open
Meeting Laws |
"A year
after
exempting
themselves
from public
records
laws, state
lawmakers
took the
first steps
Wednesday to
formally
repeal
requirements
they obey
the same
open meeting
laws that
exist for
everyone
else. Rep. Barbara
Parker,
R-Mesa, said
she
introduced
House Bill
2481 to
“reform” and
update state
laws on open
meetings." [
. . . ] "The
measure,
however,
revises the
definition
of “public
body” — the
groups to
which the
law applies
— to exclude
the
Legislature." |

Lawmaker
Urges Mesa

Hotel
Shelter

Plans |
"A second
Valley city

seeking to
preempt the

city’s
planning and
zoning board
approved a
recommendation
to rezone

Sept. 13,
but Rep. Barbara
Parker,

issued a

Republican
elected
officials
are slated
to speak at
a Mesa town
hall
Thursday
organized
by Moms
for Liberty,
a "parental
rights"
organization
founded in
Florida that
has been

national
headlines in

Sen. Jake
Hoffman,
R-Queen

of
opposition
to
pandemic-related
school
closures and
mask
mandates.
Its chapters
have since
made
national
headlines
for attempts
to take over
school
boards,
explosive
appearances

gender-related
topics." |
