Minnesota State Rep. Drew Christensen has drafted a bill to ban Arie Luyendyk Jr., the star of this just-ended season of The Bachelor, from the state, he said late Wednesday. The lawmaker had earlier taken to Twitter to make his displeasure with Luyendyk known after the reality-TV personality dumped winner Becca, a Minnesota native, in a last-minute change of heart in the season finale. Christensen is now seeking to pass legislation that would launch a “zero-tolerance policy” for Luyendyk, according to a scanned photo of the bill. “It is a state policy that every person in the state has a right to live free from the presence of Arie Luyendyk Jr. in the state,” the bill read.
