Johnson County eyes security upgrade for courthouse entrance
Johnson County supervisors plan a $250,000 design and build for a temporary secure entrance at the courthouse with metal detectors and added staff costs of $150,000 for two deputies. The west side entry would serve inmates and disabled access, possibly as a trailer or portable classroom. Three voter defeats in three years led to cautious planning without a new ballot.

Advocates urge lawmakers to close loopholes including helmet, booster seat, rear-seat belt, ignition interlock, and texting ban gaps while praising speed cameras and urging stronger enforcement.
