Agreed. It seems a number of these bills are advancing through state legislatures. It started with the Texas abortion ban putting bounties on people who aid another in getting an abortion. SCOTUS had the opportunity to stop this practice dead in its tracks, but they decided to let it persist as the case waits to be heard by the court. Meanwhile, this gives everyone else latitude to pass their own "bounty" laws on any number of issues.

No, it has long been a part of US law; Texas just made the news.
