DEL PERRO (WZL) \u2014 In the Seventh session of the Legislature this week, Representative Hudson Welsh (SALP) has introduced two bills which directly challenge Mount Zonah’s standing policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bill aims to remove lethal weapons from the hospital by prohibiting medical staff from carrying \u2018lethal weapons\u2019 while on-duty. However concerns about the bill have been raised, such as the fact it potentially violates Article 1 Section 1 of the General Laws and Definitions of the state where \u201cOpen Carry of a Firearm is allowed in all public places in San Andreas, so long as the person is legally allowed to carry a weapon.\u201d There are also concerns regarding its impediment against the Second Amendment, which is a guaranteed right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bill does allow the San Andreas Security Service to continue holding weapons inside hospitals and doesn’t prohibit the public or police from carrying weapons from inside the hospital. According to the bill, the purpose is \u201cTo ensure that patients and staff of the medical facilities of the state of San Andreas remain safe and secure and have access to fair and equal treatment without danger of lethal harm.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second bill, the Health and Religion Protection Act, specifically targets the on-going dispute over face-coverings inside Mount Zonah Medical center. On the 18th, Representative Welsh led a protest at Mt. Zonah against the policy regarding masks inside the medical facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
