What the Amendment Does Mr. Cornyn, along with Mr. Budd, submitted amendment SA 14 to be proposed to another amendment on the bill S. 5. Common sense tells us we need to keep track of what officials are trying to change here, so let's look at what this adds. The amendment changes the bill to include individuals who are charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or who admit to committing acts of burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury to another person.
