This bill generated a good bit of debate on the House floor just now, with several Republicans speaking in opposition to the bill, largely arguing that these groups shouldn't be allowed to appear to be police officers. Del. Ward Armstrong finally suggested that the bill be sent to committee, as planned, and it could be debated there, and that was that.
