Subject Oppose Punitive Enforcement of SB 8 Against Compliant Cities

The Texas Attorney General sued the city of Denton over changing rooms at a Pride pool party. The city and event organizers had already complied with SB 8 eleven days before the lawsuit was filed. Zero fines had been levied. The organizers removed all gender-neutral language from their advertising on May 21. The AG filed the lawsuit on June 1, the first day of Pride Month.

SB 8 carries fines of $25,000 for a first violation and up to $125,000 per day for subsequent violations. Those fines were quintupled during the legislative process. The law also allows private citizens to file complaints through an AG tip line. Filing lawsuits against cities that have already complied is not enforcement. It is intimidation. Oppose any expansion of SB 8 enforcement powers and demand that the attorney general's office demonstrate an actual violation before filing suit.

I'm calling about the attorney general's enforcement of SB 8 against cities that have already complied.
The AG sued Denton over a Pride pool party. The city and organizers had removed gender-neutral changing room language 11 days before the lawsuit. Zero fines were levied.
SB 8 fines reach $125,000 per day. Filing lawsuits against compliant cities wastes taxpayer money and targets LGBTQ communities.
Oppose expansion of SB 8 enforcement powers. Require the AG to demonstrate an actual violation before filing suit.
I'm a constituent and I vote.
