This looks like it’s an overall positive bill to me. If you read the bill itself (see the text here) it says individuals may request an envelope, and the wording does not state any type of requirement. The bill also will require 40 hours of police training on how to work with people with autism.
While it isn’t perfect, education is a good thing - especially in a state where autistic people have been beaten by cops for not reacting the way cops expect.
The largest problem I see with it is for undiagnosed people or people that don’t choose the blue envelope. It might make cops think certain types of behavior are only okay if you have the blue envelope to prove they’re okay. This is compounded by perceptions that autism is too broad or over-diagnosed.
It would be better to teach the cops to behave better with everyone. And stop teaching them that avoiding eye contact means someone is lying.
Go after the police unions and civil forfeiture laws then. Those are what are making the police a Mafia gang
