State Rep. Susan DuBose, R-Hoover, announced on Tuesday that she is holding a town hall meeting on June 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the Shelby County Services Building, located at 19220 U.S. Highway 280.
State Sen. Dan Roberts, R-Mountain Brook, who represents portions of Jefferson and Shelby counties in the Senate, will participate, and Jeff Brumlow, the recently appointed Shelby County representative on the Birmingham Water Works Board, will also provide a presentation and answer questions at the event, which is open to the public.
“In addition to reviewing the important bills and measures that were passed during the 2025 legislative session, we will look ahead to the issues that await lawmakers when we gather again next year,” DuBose said. “I believe strongly that my job as a legislator is to reflect the conservative beliefs, principles, and values of the citizens that I swore an oath to represent, and town halls like this one allow me to gather valuable feedback and insight on what my constituents want us to accomplish.”
DuBose, who holds seats on the House Health Committee, the House Education Policy Committee and the House Fiscal Responsibility Committee, will discuss the enactment of her legislation known as the What Is A Woman Act, which created “commonsense, biology-based, statutory definitions for terms such as man, woman, male, female, boy, girl, mother, and father,” DuBose’s release said.
She will also discuss passage of Parker’s Law, a measure she sponsored and carried that exempts nursing mothers from jury duty for up to two years. “The need for the new law arose when nursing mother Kandace Brown was threatened by a judge after reporting for jury duty with her three-month-old daughter, Parker,” her release shared.
Other issues of both state and local prominence will also be discussed, and constituents attending the meeting will be invited to raise topics of concern that they feel are important and in need of attention.
A 6:30 p.m meet and greet with refreshments will precede the town hall, which begins at 7 p.m.
