Wallace sponsored HB1264 to eliminate government bodies' authority to move Confederate monuments. (Currently, they can move Confederate monuments but only to another location which they find more appropriate to display the monument.) billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2020/pdf/histo… 7/

Wallace sponsored HB1448 to treat alternative nicotine products as tobacco products and to increase the minimum age for tobacco products to 21. billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2020/pdf/histo… 8/

Wallace sponsored HC42 to declare Mississippi a "2nd Amendment Sanctuary." The bill would declare Mississippi to be worried that Congress could pass federal legislation that may infringe the 2nd Amendment, although it cites no specific bill. billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2020/pdf/histo… 11/

For that matter, Wallace has never *himself* sponsored any bill that would protect the right to own/possess guns.

That wraps up the bills Wallace sponsored this year, so now I'll move to bills Wallace sponsored in 2019, the only other term Wallace has served in the #MSleg. 12/

Wallace sponsored HB51 to exempt vehicles owned by the same licensed owner since before October 1, 2018, from Mississippi's tax on electric and hybrid vehicles for as long as the same owner owns it. billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2019/pdf/histo… 13/

Wallace sponsored HB 1560 to exclude all gov't bodies other than state agencies from a competitive purchasing requirement. billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2019/pdf/histo… 18/

Correction: HB570 would increase traffic stops but not speeding tickets.
