Maybe it’s just because we’re working this week, but Bama Fact Check has noticed that Spring Break is a hard time to get hold of people. With kids out of school for what used to be known as “AEA week,” plenty of lawyers and legislators also seem to have taken some time away from the hustle and bustle. Who knew child care was so hard to find? We’re jealous.

Fortunately, oddness never takes a holiday. And Bama Fact Check’s partners did spot some unusual bills over the last week.

No, there was nothing like Sen. Gerald Allen’s Wikipedia-inspired bill on Sharia law. But it’s not every day a legislator wants to roll back enforcement of seatbelt laws or ban sales of bulletproof vests. Or vague up an ethics bill -- at the Ethics Commission’s request.

There’s also an effort underway to ban the use of the gas chamber -- for dogs. Touching, yes, but a bit of an odd play from legislators who say they want less government regulation, not more.

Lawmakers will be back from the beach next week, so expect a raft of new proposed regulation.
