State Representatives
Bills Sponsored:
-
This bill permitted full-time mayors in Tuscaloosa County to participate in the Employees’ Retirement System of Alabama
-
This bill would establish a Bill of Rights for adults with guardians
-
This bill would establish the Alabama Background Check Service, mandate certain agencies to collect biometric identifiers (fingerprints, retina scans, etc.), and provide an assortment of approved uses for background checks.
-
This bill gives citizens 65+ a property tax exemption within Fayette County
-
This bill would create a grant program for coal-impacted communities and workforces, as well as provide for the distribution of money earned through federal coal sales in the state.
-
This bill would allow the Administrative Office of Courts to expend funds from the Advanced Technology and Data Exchange Fund for the general operation of the courts
-
This bill would get rid of restrictions preventing a court order for a “special venire” for a capital felony trial. A special venire, from what I can decipher, is an order for law enforcement to gather extra large jury for a single high-stakes trial
-
This bill is.. convoluted from the perspective of a layperson. It would allow for the creation of a Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA), which is a legal structure that gives legal recognition and liability protection to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, which from what I can decipher is like an automated company that can make money, despite DUNA having the word Nonprofit in it. DUNA would also protect members and people who fund the Decentralized Autonomous Organization from any legal liability.
-
This bill would allow police officers to get approval from judges to issue a citation through video link or telephone, instead of having to appear in front of the judge in person.
Bryan Brinyark in his own words:
Bryan Brinyark’s website does not do well at specifying the things he wants to improve in his district. He certainly has law experience, and has a talent for writing virtually indecipherable bills, but I have trouble believing he’s the type to care much about the regular everyday citizens of his district.
Bryan Brinyark in the bills he’s sponsored:
This guy is a lawyer, and you can tell when reading his bills. They’re all pretty hard to decipher as a lay-person, and I would be lying if I fully understood every single one of them. That being said, from what I can tell, the only bill he’s even sponsored that I find to be particularly good or helpful is HB99, which would create a bill of rights for adults who require guardians. All the rest of his bills seem incredibly convoluted and hyper-specific to issues most people aren’t worried about. Furthermore, only two out of nine bills he’s sponsored have been enacted or even made it out of the State House of Representatives, and those two bills exclusively benefit the mayor of Tuscaloosa county and property owners 65+ in Fayette County.
His potential successor:
Bryan Brinyark is currently running against Christian Martin. Christian Martin’s Facebook page speaks extensively about the need for affordability in Alabama. He mentions in one post his intention to lower costs via removing taxes on groceries, cutting sales taxes, and reining in Alabama Power’s monopoly on electricity and cutting rates across the state. As soon as this guy brought up Alabama Power I was on his side. I have a personal vendetta against those sick freaks.
His Candidate Connection survey on Ballotpedia expands on his passion for labor rights and healthcare, as well as his intentions to protect rural hospitals, expand Medicaid and focus on maternal healthcare, as well as abolishing income tax on overtime, and making out-of-state interests that use our timberland and farmland pay their share. He also intends to ban utilities lobbyists and prevent utility companies from being able to make campaign donations, which is absolutely insane that they’re allowed to do that in the first place. I like this guy and I think he’s a good candidate to represent the interests of the people in District 16, but he will have to fight tooth and nail to get anything positive or useful passed in this buttcrack of a state.
