House Floor Amendment No 4 to SB1034 - Controlled Substance Cathinone was approved for consideration of the full House yesterday by the Executive Committee. Once adopted, our opposition to this bill will be changed to neutral. House Floor Amendment No 3 remains assigned to the Executive Committee though it seems unlikely this amendment will see any movement.

 

 

The House is scheduled for 12:00 Noon today and the Senate for 11:00 AM.

Just want to take a moment to say thanks again for staying up to get this info up in a timely manner. I worked 3rd shift for about a year and a half and I am now on a bit of a split schedule where 2 days a week I work 3rd and the other days I work 9-5. I look forward to your updates when I work 3rd. So again. Thanks!

I'm more than happy to help, but for now please take a look at Abolt's SB1034 Update Thread.

 

We need to contact legislators that were previously contacted in opposition to let them know we are neutral on (or support if you wish) House Floor Amendment No 4. Finding common ground is always a good approach and we should acknowledge their effort in this regard.

If the current date for the task is May 1st, and it's the 29th, why isn't the report in? Do due dates not matter then? If this was covered elsewhere feel free to point me in the right direction.

Deadlines can be important but they are not fixed and can be moved around like game pieces at will.

The report is not out because the staff working on it are also working on a bazillion other things right

here at the end of session.

 

But that does not lessen the frustration at having to wait and wonder if the delay is political maneuvering . . .

Time is quickly running out in the regular session. May 31st appears to be the last scheduled day. Today, Wedensday, and Thursday...

 

If they are going to go into an extended / emergency session, when does that get announced? Is there a deadline to make that officially happen?

 

Final question, who makes that decision? Is it Quinn, Cullerton, Madigan? Who calls the exended session?

 

Thanks.

I am under the impression that the due dates are more of a guidline and not a set in stone date. The task force report is still being working on I read somewhere too.

I am not where I can access my Blue Book of rules for the 97th Gen a**. and I do not remember the rules for extended session.

If they don't have to follow the due date then why even have one? I can understand asking to extend the deadline, but if going past the deadline means nothing then why even have one, vote on extending it, etc.... oh well. Laws and sausages I guess.

Jeckler, I had to ask Andria at Roses office about that the other day and the answer to your question is YES. Madigan, Cullerton or Quinn can make the call on extended session at any time.

Hernandez has sb 3458 and Bost asks why don't we extend the language in that bill to apply to those wanting to get their foids back or better yet why don't we just reconsider what we consider a felony in IL???? This goes back to the 1034 issue
