The Fountain Hills Town Council will discuss Sharia law and automated license plate reading cameras during its Oct. 20 meeting.
Both proposals were brought forth by Councilman Allen Skillicorn in September, with ALPRs making its way onto the Oct. 6 agenda before the council tabled it for further discussion. During that meeting, the item was brought forth for possible action, though the council questioned what the ordinance entailed and legalities of it.
Skillicorn’s proposal regarding Sharia Law will have no action taken during the meeting. The item, however, has already caught the eye of the Council on American-Islamic Relations chapter of Arizona, which sent the town a letter outlining legal and constitutional risks.
