Ilayisense yomuntu yokushayela ingamiswa ngenxa yezizathu eziningi e-Ohio futhi uSen. Catherine Ingram (D-Cincinnati) uyazi ubuhlungu bekhanda obungase bubangele.

Eminyakeni edlule, u-Ingram wayenemoto ayengayishayeli njalo, ayengenawo umshuwalense—kwaze kwaba ngolunye usuku, ngaphandle kwesixwayiso, ethola isaziso sokuthi izincwadi zakhe zokushayela zimisiwe. Indodana yakhe ike yaba sesimweni esifanayo.

“Ukubuyiselwa kwakucishe kube ngu-$500. Ngisho ukuthi kuyahlanya lokho,” kusho u-Ingram engxoxweni ngoMashi.

Izizathu zamanje ezingokomthetho zamalayisense alahlekile zihlanganisa yonke into kusukela ekudaleni umonakalo omkhulu wempahla ukuya emacaleni otshwala nezidakamizwa kuya ekuhlulekeni ukukweleta isikweletu senkantolo. U-Ingram uthe umshwalense othile ashaywe ngawo awusekho, kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi uhlelo ludinga ukulungiswa. Yingakho ajoyina uSen. Bill Blessing (Ilokishi lase-R-Colerain) ekwethuleni uMthethosivivinywa weSigele wama-37 ngonyaka odlule.

I-SB 37 izoqeda izimo ezithile lapho abashayeli belahlekelwa khona amalayisense futhi izodala nokukhululeka okwengeziwe endleleni yokuyibuyisela emuva. Ngaphansi kombhalo womthetho, ukudonsa ilayisense ngeke kusaba inhlawulo engase ibe khona ngenxa yamacala ezidakamizwa, ukulova esikoleni, noma izinhlawulo zenkantolo, phakathi kwezinye izimiso.

Engxoxweni kaMashi, uBlessing uthe kwezinye izimo, ukumiswa kuyafaneleka. Kodwa uthe uhlelo lwamanje lunamandla okudala umjikelezo ononya.

“Laba bantu bayajeziswa kodwa ubuye ubaphuce ikhono labo lokushayela, okufana nento yokuqala okumele abantu abaningi babe nayo ukuze bakwazi ukuziphilisa,” kusho uBlessing. "Pho lokho kuzwakala kanjani?"

Abasekeli balo mthethosivivinywa baphikisa ukuthi uhlelo lwamanje luvame ukuhlasela abantu base-Ohio abahola kancane ngokulinganayo, emiphakathini yasemadolobheni neyasemaphandleni.

“Awukwazi ukuthumba abantu,” kusho u-Ingram.

Abenzi bomthetho bombuso bake balungisa umthetho othinta ukumiswa kwelayisense ngaphambilini, futhi uBlessing uhlongoze wona lo mthethosivivinywa ngesikhathi sokugcina somthetho. Ayizange iye ndawo.

Ezinye izikhungo ezinakekela izingane ziphikisana ngokuthi ukudonsa ilayisensi yomuntu kunikeza ithuluzi elinamandla lokuphoqa izinkokhelo.

I-Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association iyaphikisana nalo mthetho. Umqondisi Omkhulu u-Lou Tobin uthe umthethosivivinywa awuguquki.

“Ngingazibona ngeso lengqondo izimo lapho umuntu, oyisigqila sezidakamizwa, onomlando wokugwetshwa izidakamizwa nezidakamizwa, angaba yingozi kwabanye emgwaqeni, futhi ijaji lingathanda ukumisa izincwadi zabo zokushayela isikhashana. , futhi lo mthethosivivinywa uzokwenqabela lokho,” kusho yena.

Kodwa uhlu lwabasekeli balo mthethosivivinywa lude futhi lunama-bipartisan.

“Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu bakhathele ukuxabana. Ngicabanga ukuthi bafuna ukubona amalungu esishayamthetho ezwana futhi enza lokhu abalindele ukuthi sikwenze: ukushaywa kwemithetho emihle ukuze kusizakale wonke umuntu,” kusho uBlessing.

I-SB 37 ibe nokuqulwa kwamacala amaningi ekomitini lezobulungiswa leSenethi, kodwa kusadingeka isuse womabili amagumbi kanye nedeski lombusi ngaphambi kukaDisemba ukuze kube umthetho.

USbusiso uthi nakuleso sikhathi esiqinile, ucabanga ukuthi bangakwenza. Uma ingenzeki, iwashi liqala kabusha ngoJanuwari, okusho ukuthi kuzofanele baqale kusikwele sokuqala, futhi abantu base-Ohio abazulazula ngokubuyisela kuyodingeka baqhubeke nokwenza.
